Is the Adaptive LED really that much better than the standard Xenons?

I currently have Adaptive Xenons on my 2012 F10 and am quite happy with these, are the LED headlights really a step above the Xenons?

Any real life experience, anyone?
I have had new LED on 2013 f02 for one month. First, I am not sure if they have all of the tech conveyed in that video---can anyone confirm?

Second, there is a hard truth about these new LED headlights: They look badass. But, they are not as good as xenon. I was in the country on a dark road for 20 miles this weekend. Yes, they illuminate the road. But, the lack of yellow in the bulb makes it harder to see things.
