I'll likely be using all 70 degree optics, so hopefully don't have that issue.

ya....in reality any difference in growth patterns will likely be minimal (to the point where only a SPS guru would see the difference).....probably much like MH and T5 .....the corals farthest out towards the edges of the tank tend to "lean" a bit towards the point of the strongest light source......and like you said, flow will cause variances as well....
