I didn't research those specific curve but one thing is sure, I didn't even found a PAR reading of a Solaris I4, so we can't really judge of the efficacity VS T5/MH.
Taking in account the 10% you loose with the lens, the water reflection/bla bla, we can only speculate,
The last time I looked, a good puck driver was around 30$ for 3 leds, if you use 180 leds as you sugested, with 10$ for the led/lense/star, 10$/led for the driver, plus the powersupply and heatsink fans, you are at least in the 3000$+
