ati sunpower, or tek sunlight supply?

[phoenix20]

So reefgeek started selling ATI's new sunpower fixtures.

http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluorescent/ATI/SunPower_Fixtures/">http://www.reefgeek.com/lighting/T5_Fluorescent/ATI/SunPower_Fixtures/</a>

Doing some research, a lot of folks are saying that the sunpower has just about the same performance as the powermodule fixtures, but is much cheaper due to the housing and less fans.

So, i'm torn. Should I pick up the 6x54w 48" sunpower for $619

Or do I go cheaper and get the tek sunlight supply fixture for $469?

Is the extra $150 worth it? Anyone happen to have either of these two fixtures? What do you think of them?

I would buy the sunpower in a heartbeat and I have an ati power module.

That being said what are you trying to grow. How deep is the tank? If lps then it probably not worth it. The Ati will give you about 150 to 200 more par the tek so unless you are going to grow sps it probably not worth it.

If I was going to use t-5 for an sps or heavy sps mixed tank I would buy an ATi or get an overdriven Ice cap unit.
