I hadn't frankly read up on them all too much until just now. I should really do more research :). The brand I bought has a comparison chart telling me you're right. Our lights are sufficient. If I get the chance I'll probably buy some that are a bit brighter but as it stands I really like the way they look and they're quite functional.
After I looked into the purported output though, I'm still a bit confused. One thing I've found is that lumen output isn't a truly quantifiable number. Yes, it's scientific but there are various other factors when it comes to led strips. The ones I bought are listed at 164L/Ft. At 36 leds/ft that breaks down to ~4.5Lm/Led. I couldn't find an output on the ones you linked, but these are rated at 15Lm/Led. My strip also has 600 leds per 5 meter strip while the brighter ones have half as many at 300. All in all, I have a feeling the second link will be brighter than the ones I bought, but on paper it says the opposite. These look pretty bright as well but again, are only advertised at 25LM/Led. Worst case scenario you buy two or three rolls at $10 a pop and just give them a go.
I don't think I linked this before, but if you want to use a standard switch and dimmer (as opposed to a wall wart) these are pretty slick. Just make sure to match the current requirements to however many feet of light you have.
