Has anyone done a comparison of RGB strings using the WS2801 chip versus strings using the WS2811? The 2811 strings I am looking at are three wire and the 2801 is 4 wire. That does not make a big difference to me but it is one less wire to have to do something with and one less wire that could fail at some point.
The main difference I am wondering about is the color depth. 2801 is 24 bit so 16 million colors whereas the 2811 is 15 bit for 32,768 colors. From an online video I saw, it seems the 2801 shows better color at low intensities but around 50% to 100% intensity level, which is what I use most of the time with my CCR's, there is no real discernible difference that I can see between the two.
The 2811 cost more per string so I am trying to determine if it is worth it to pay more for the 2801.
