T5's are fluorescent bulbs, correct. I think the reason for their popularity is that they are much thinner, and don't block nearly as much of the light reflection. Which brings me to my next point. T5 set-ups without individual reflectors are pretty average as well (i.e. not suitable for SPS).

t5 can grow sps but they have to be high output H/O also I think there are alot of factors that come in with an sps tank not just the lights like stability, dosing, and other factors. IMO t5 are awesome but for the cost of bulb replacement on t5 versus MH I went with MH. I've seen many tanks with t5 and they have 5-8 bulbs on a set up versus 2-3 bulbs on an MH set up also HO t5 gives a nice colour to the tank because you can use so many different bulbs on 1 diy fixture from pink to blue to purple even greenish.
