Fluorescent light will ALWAYS look like hell, and I will always be able to hear that god-awful 60cycle buzzing. My last apartment had fluorescent lighting in the kitchen. Solution? Cook in the dark. Yup- I hate them THAT much.

I guess my situation is somewhat unique. Here in coastal SoCal I only run AC a few days a year and heat a few days a year.
My biggest home energy costs are LPG (water heater) and electricity.
Lighting IS a major part of my electrical costs and switching to CFL cut an honest 50% off my electric bill. - from about $200/mo to about $100/mo. If I really watch my usage, I can get that bill to $85.
Have you tried the new bulbs?
Best,
