Need Kitchen Lighting Assistance

I have fluorescent lighting installed in the soffit that lines the perimeter around my kitchen. It uses some 9 foot and also some 4 foot tubes with an ugly plexiglass diffuser. I have some hanging lighting over an island and a kitchen table that provides other lighting, but the perimeter lighting is the brightest. (Picture shown is dark becomes some of the bulbs are out). I am thinking of using sheet rock to close in the soffit and then install recessed lighting in the soffit. Does this sound like a good idea? What size recessed should I use and how far apart should I space them? Should I use LED recessed? Does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
