Recessed lighting help (LED)

We'd like to install 4" recessed lights in our kitchen with an existing ceiling - retrofit cans. I'm mostly looking at LED options and have several questions:

-what's the benefit of LED housings (seem to be $100+) over a line or low voltage can with an LED retrofit bulb (under $80 or so)?

-do people have good experiences with specific low/line voltage cans, trims and LED bulbs? Two that have been recommended are a Cree MR16 and a Sylvania LED downlight.

Thank you
