[SML] Dimmer Questions

The church I attend needs better lighting for the platform area.
Unsurprisingly, money is a consideration as is the amount of power that
can be supplied to the dimmers.  House lighting is five pairs of
chandeliers, pulling 400 watts per pair, and one set of wall sconces,
pulling 300 watts.  Lighting above the platform is comprised of two sets
of down lights, provided by a combination of incandescent PAR lamps and a
pair of LED PAR--two circuits total.  The power driving all of this is
five 20 amps circuit breakers.

I'm considering two Leviton ND4600 dimmers that will control the
chandeliers, sconces, and down lights, and another ND4600 to add some
architectural LED PAR 38 front lights.  Will the Leviton dimmers play
nicely with the LED PAR 38?

Thanks,
