I just went through this with a couple of fixtures in the shop.
I have 2 F96T12HO 2 lamp fixtures. The ballasts were leaking, decision time.
Did some calculating, each lamp makes 8900 lumens. That's 17,800 per fixture.
The replacement LED lamps I found were 3600 lumens each.
Though the LED's are more efficient, I needed the light output that the original lamps made. I didn't try the LED's, so I can't say they would not have been enough. One advantage they have is the light is directional, where the fluorescent tubes are omnidrectional, some light is lost upward.

In my situation, I needed the light output, the old fixtures were in good shape, well built, the lamps were still good. I ended up going back with new electronic ballasts for about $40 each.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
