Fair, but incandescent has truly rubbish efficiency, and electricity is no longer cheap.
Gas-discharge metal halide lamps will give you a better spectrum even than incandescent, and at an efficiency that equals or beats a lot of commercial LEDs.
They're more expensive than either, of course, and they don't come small unless they add xenon and then the price goes higher still.
I use them where possible.
