Default LF -- T5HO Fixtures

I need a 4 foot fixture for a 55gal that i will set up at the end of July. I have experience with the Sunlight Supply TEK, so I am looking for a used 4 foot TEK light. But, I can't seem to get my hands on one.
As I am trying to keep costs down, I am wondering if anyone has experience with lights from http://www.fishneedit.com/, specifically the T5HO.
Basically, I would love another TEK, but I am looking for advice and opinions now.
Thanks

No advice, no opinions? Did I post this on Canreef?

I have no experience, but I would guess that you get what you pay for.... Otherwise, everybody would be using these lights. You're better off finding a used TEK or similar. Tried and tested. 4 foot fixtures always pop up on here.

Ya, kind of what I thought. I am going to hold out for a better quality light.
