UPDATE:
The optics are now available with an optional metal reflector of some sort - of something more than tin foil - for $2 more. It seems worth it - it is like adding a smooth reflector to the deal. Since I cut the feet off to use the stock reflector, he might upgrade me for just s/h (nice guy!).
Consider getting 2: 1 costs $12 the second costs $5 extra.
The weather is horrible (cold I can handle, 8" of snow - not so much) that I cannot get out to field test it. On the ceiling, the SOFT looks better; but across the room on the wall, the elliptical looks better. I was initially partial to the SOFT version because it is so much like the no-hot spot beam of Dinotte; but the elliptical leaves some of the throw while spreading it out. So I am still undecided and glad I got both.
It also looks like there may be more light loss than I first realized. It is hard to tell because without the hot spot, it will SEEM dimmer. Of course the light is also spread more evenly over a wider area. The smooth reflector should help though it likely wont make a world of difference.

EDIT: He has also verified that these work with the Gemini.
