Driving the 3590 at 1400 or 1750mA is driving it hard? At 50w 3590 comes out over all the other cobs

1750ma and 2100ma is hard.
The cma3090 is cheaper and around the same efficiency over 1400ma as the 3950 but then again the cxm22 still outperforms both as does the vero 29c. Both cheaper too.
all other cobs at what current? or the same 50w. There are plenty of chips that can outperform cree at the same current for less cost.

Yes it does work. Obviously if he's making a comparison he's going to apply the same conditions to each COB. You can look it up yourself. I believe Ledgardener as he has provided tons of excellent advice and tends to know what he's talking about. After 50w the clu048-1818 is the top runner.
"All results are calculated at a case temperature of 55 degrees Celcius (except for the Luminus CXM-22, for which I estimated Tj to be 85 degrees in order to have a case temperature as close to 55 C as possible). A color temperature of 3500K and 80CRI was used for every COB."

I do agree they are pretty pricey and I personally wouldn't go with them.
Do you know a reputable site to order from that sells for reasonable prices? I checked out Digikey and their prices are ridiculous, going for $50 a piece
Not in a rush. Still waiting on legalization in the great north

How big is your room?
I think I’m gonna settle on 15x 3590s and drive them with 3x 240/1400s.. do you know how much cfm I require for the set up and whand carbon filter to use?
