Any experience with these?

Our new kitchen will have 6 recessed cans that normally accomodate
standard incandescent floodlight bulbs. For the sake of electrical
consumption and heat output, I'd like to use CF floodlight bulbs, but
have not used them before.

Other advantages? Disadvantages?

I dislike them because of slow start, odd look and strange color
light.

I can't speak for the flood lamp configuration, but more recent CF bulbs
I've bought have virtually instant start. The flood lamp configuration
doesn't look any different than any other flood lamp, and there are now a
variety of color temperatures available that might eliminate the color
problem.
