Most softies and LPS can tolerate the 250w halides if acllimated properly. Rob makes a great point, the price difference is pretty negligible between the two setups.

Although 175w can keep SPS it won't give the best results, unless it's a shallower tank. But digitata grows rapidly under 175's (if that's as far as you want to go, sps-wise)
