Odyssea 48" T5

I know some of you have the Odyssea 760W Metal Halide/PC lights and are happy with them, but does anybody have the T5s like these? Red Coral is selling them and I am considering them for my 90. I have no SPS so I do not need a ton of light.

I think that Odyssea makes okay stuff...but I think that their T5HO lights lack individual reflectors, which you may find limits them a lot.

I believe these have individual reflectors (but you should confirm) and are also Chinese made (so low cost) http://www.fishneedit.com/4ft4bulbs-with-l44.html

Fishneedit is in the process of replacing their T5 lineup with ones with external ballasts, I presume they will be better than the current ones. Wait till at least April, if you want to consider those.
