Default Should I stick with 250's for the LPS

Here is my problem folks I have been talking with Doug on this about my lighting the 96x24x24 will house 4 MH for my LPS and softie tank along with some Squamosa that i have.

I currently have 2x400's over the tank or will be when I do the switch.

Im looking at either
all 250's 4x250's
Or all 175's

Iwasaki 14K 175's beat many 250's in PAR.

With some good reflectors they should work quite well.

Cheers,
Vic
