They are better, yes.
Not only in PAR, but also in replacement cost.
PC can change freq. in as little as 6 months, and replacement costs are oftentimes more expensive than initial fixture cost.

I don't know that I agree completely...PCs seems to create more light from what I've noticed...You can also fit more PCs in a hood than t5's....
T5 HO bulbs generate more light intensity (PAR, LUX, etc. -- whichever unit you prefer) than PC bulbs. When paired with quality individual reflectors, like the IceCap SLRs, a T5 HO set-up will vastly out-perform a PC set-up of equivalent wattage.
