I added those links to the wiki page.

Agreed that for bright full sun conversions based on an assumed spectral
distribution are not ridiculous.

It would be really interesting if someone with both kinds of sensors
(both high quality!) were to post a scatter plot of one vs the other.
I expect good agreement about 500 W/m^2, and much less by the time one
gets to 100 W/m^2.   But I am just guessing.
