How important is a full lighting cycle?

[digital-audiophile]

Here is my dillema. I have narrowed the buying decision of my lighting to two options. One is just a MH pendant, the other is a combo that can do the full dawn/day/dusk/night cycle.


1. Pendant 250W MH HQI w/ 14k Giesmann bulb @ $405.65

2. Pendant, 250W MH HQI w/13K Giesmann bulb, PFO Nightlight, 2 x 28W PC Actinic @ $646.95

Now.. if you guys had the money burning a hole in your pocket and need to get a light so you could start moving into your new tank.. what would you do?
