I don't doubt your experience but I have to wonder if it's really the
case that ETC fixtures have greater inrush or if it's simply the case
that ETC is much more thorough and conservative in their research,
design, measurement, and documentation.  It would be interesting to
actually have the two side by side and see the differences of this
measured objectively.  What could account for this - more robust power
supplies/drivers?
