Remember, peoples opinions vary based on their income and personal opinions and experiences.

It's always a wash when asking if something is worth the money, because some people value money more and some less...lol

I used a crappy 4X 65 watt chinese ebay pc fixture for almost 6 months and had no complaints...
why?
because I knew it was a cheap pos to begin with and all i cared was that it worked at even a basic level for what I needed it for (which was a mostly lps but a couple sps close to the top tank) and when the ballast did go on me, I knew I had gotten what I paid for and just put in a new one and kept using it until I could afford (or found a deal) on the halides that I really wanted but didn't necessarily need right away.

Very good point. Some also aren't made of money but are also willing to save longer and buy once. Many ways to this hobby.

that is a very good point and thank you. its not the money issue with buying the light i just wanted to see what everyones opinion was on it. and i totaly agree that everyone has different taste and ideas when it comes to lighting. i really want to get an 8 bulb tek light or even a 6 bulb. i have a 48in sundial on my 90 right now just want more light.
