Converting house to LED light bulbs

I don't plan on going full scale on the LEDs anytime soon. I am considering them in some of the case lighting (curio, china cabinets, etc.) I have installed CFL wherever possible. I have a lot of motion sensor switches going into various rooms and hallways that don't always work well with CFL's.

We don't burn a lot of table lamps, ceiling lights etc - but we do have a lot of accent lighting. I also use a lot of halogen ceiling lights for picture lighting. In these cases all of them are on dimmers to get the right effect. Using LEDs I don't think I could get the same effect without the yellow light cast. In most all cases the 50w halogens are dimmed down to about 10/15 watts.

So I don't know - not looking forward to the expense nor the color.
