I think just before the inset down light trend a few designers (Inc IKEA) made interesting fluro tube housing, they still come up oddly in a smaller styles on kitchen cupboards, but yeah it's proper olds school. But I'd still think led strip Tec should way out do the inset spot.

The High CRI stuff at whatever Kelvin you prefer for the situation is great. I've used a lot in cabinet lighting. Can be tricky to dim though. I've still not really got my head around some of the led driver functions.
I'd like to have a kind of goto LED strip and electronics but the tech seems to change constantly.

Fluro strip lights have that unpleasant flicker and you need multiple strips to get fewer shadows.
The only room I really value downlights in is my workshop. They are quite useful for hallways though. You can do a lot more with LED strips these days so there is even less reason to have downlights.
