They come both ways, as a retro fit kit and as a fully assembled unit.
Moogled I suspect you would take offence too , if someone running a LED system said they wouldnt use a tek light without ever using one. Josh asked for T5 lighting options and where to look.I offered my opinion. Which you promptly shot down. As for it being two units instead of one, I find it kinda handy not having to remove the whole light when doing maintenence( I only remove the front one). No I havnt tried the sps lower in my tank because I do know the limitations of my lighting. But I find that a mute point as the vast majority of sps keepers place them in the top third of the tank regardless of their lighting system.
But enough bickering ...Josh what are the dimensions of your tank and what do you think you would like to keep as far as corals go. If a softie orriented with a couple lower light sps tank like mine appeals to you then you dont need to spend the big bucks. If you want a sps and lps dominated tank then you will need to cough for a meatier lighting system.
