But an electric light would be really cool in the master. How much do those cost and are there leakage problems?

They're as much money as you're willing to spend - generally a minimum of $600+. A skylight will leak under 3 conditions:
1. Poor quality.
2. Incorrect installation.
3. Damage.

Otherwise, it's a non-issue.

BTW, thanks for humoring me in this discussion. I enjoy talking construction with those who appreciate the finer points of the trade.
