Default 8 bulb vs 6 bulb tek

hey everyone i have dilema right now. i am choosing between a 8 bulb and 6 bulb fixture, the 8 bulb comes with all 8 bulbs for 450$ and the 6 comes with no bulbs for 390$ i have a 100 gallon tank 25" tall 48" length and 19" depth i am wondering what my best option is here to go with the 8bulbs at that price and use used bulbs for the next 12 months or go with the 6 and have to buy all new bulbs and pay more just wanna hear some feedback

So the 8 bulb unit is not a tek unit? Does the 8 bulb unit have individual reflectors?

What type of bulbs come with the 8 bulb unit?

Cheers,
Vic

using old bulbs will just cause you headaches with algae blooms, stick with the 6 bulb one, especially if the 8 bulb one doesn't have individual reflectors.
