Is this a good Metal Halide kit?

My LFS is selling these and I wanted to see if there are a good option for metal halides as a retrofit setup. They are made by JBJ (Idon't know if that is a good brand or not). The reflector is useless because its pretty small. I would have to modify it to get it to reflect better into my reef. I bought a pair just because they were selling fast. I wanted to ask you guys your opinion and then I will take them back if they stink. The lfs said they would take the return.

here is the link to the lights:

I bought 2 x 175 watts 14,000 k kits. I was debating on getting the 250's but I already have 260 watts of fluroescent and actinic. What would you guys do?
Thanks!
