Lighting for HDSLR Video - Options

Hello POTN'ers.

I need to get LED kit lights for studio video primarily and on-location video work on occasion. Primarily, the work would be sit-down style interviews. A secondary concern would be lighting indoor stills photography for products and people. So basically, I would like to get lights that can function for both video and stills photography in limited situations.

I am leaning towards LEDs because they are generally daylight balanced, cool to operate and easy to carry. On the downside, I don't see creative light modification options ike one would find with tungsten light kits or even the soft boxes that come with florescent continuous light kits. Ability to modify the lighting somehow would be fantastic. I will be working with 5Dmk2's, 7D's and an assorted set of fast primes and zooms. For this project, my budget is USD 2K. The good folks at B&H recommended this product:

or a few of these:

Given my requirements, what are my other available options?

Hopefully there won't become a debate over halogen, Fluor, and LED LOL!
What I'm not a fan of LED about is the cost, the light doesn't "spread" out well, its pretty straight on. There is no heat, very portable, and draw very little power which is great. But you've got to really spend some money to get the good stuff (Wish I could thou)
I prefer Fluor now because of the better cost, the light spread, the low heat, good power draw, and decent portability. Interviews won't require high shutter speeds so you won't have to worry about banding because you shouldn't be in the 1/320 and faster range.
