I really like the price point of that fixture. I've been underwhelmed by the way my AquaticLife fixture lights my tank, but I certainly get strong coral growth. I guess considering the price, hopefully more reliable than my current fixture, and if I get the same coral growth then I can sacrifice the shimmer/'pop' of LED lighting.

The shimmer is why I went with LED's. Depending on your canopy/top, you could try the 4 bulb 60 inch ATI T5 fixture with maybe 3 Kessil's. Would start to get fairly expensive that way though.
