i did a 40 channel 40 led string full tree for my first year. i am definitely going with an rgb tree this year, i am in the planning stage right now trying to figure out if i want a half tree or full tree. the problem in my yard is the room i have, i am cursed(blessed) with a big front yard. i almost have to have a full tree with my set up, at least 3/4 if possible. if i do a half a tree, i would have to move it further back in the yard and it won't be visible from one side of the yard. the position of tree now would have to be a full tree because you can see 3/4 of the tree. decisions, decisions...
my 2 cents
