I've heard of some companies using many sites to do marketing, maybe that's what they are doing, hard to say. But it's pretty easy to do. I could open all kinds of sites that review controllers and guess who's always on the top of the list. 
The only good LED's I know of are from Cree and Phillips but I'm sure there's many others. When I looked up those Cree XB-D's I also only saw 350ma yet they told me the driver put out 700ma so I also questioned that, don't know if they have an unpublished LED or not. Maybe they run two strings in parallel to make the 700ma although it sounded like 1 string in my emails.
I don't envy you right now, I know how difficult it can be to pick a light, I went crazy for weeks when I made mine, in the end I went with a simple design and it seems ok. :) It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the charts and specs, I guess the best way for factory made lights is user reviews.
