Price is about $200 for one LED which can also cover a whole frag tank of 24" square.

They've been around for some time.
they run hot, as I understand it, kind of mitigating some of the purpose of leds..

OA sells some

I would be surprised if you found that the 6 bulb tek didnt cut it for ya.
I would look for a good deal on a used MH fixture if you want to go full on sps tank, but if you just want a couple, put them near the top and you should be golden.
You'll really only be able to put anything (other han softies) in the middle though.

BTW - those dimensions on your bowfront just sound awesome.
I'd love to 'scape that tank.

It is a nice looking tank , Are you offering your services ?? LOL
