I have LED as factory option on my cars (my Mini, wife's Audi S7, and a company's Acura TLX).

From what I could tell, I think LED output in term of lumens isn't as strong as HID, but you get a more consistent white light with no coloring hues whatsoever.

Also it doesn't have the warm-up period that HID headlights have. It's at (or near) full capacity the moment you switch it on. This is especially useful when going in and out of garages or tunnels.

The advantage of LED is that it's much smaller, and therefore more creative patterns can be incorporated into the design (VAG, Benz, Acura... etc, BMW Group pretty much just have it straight on). So, if your headlight has enough space, I think the Porsche one looks great, although finding a pair for retrofit could be costly.
