New Lighting opinions

I was introduced to Reef Specialty: These lights
After a local reefer picked up a set for his 120g. My question comes when selecting bulbs, there are several options on the site then of course numerous options else where. From looking at tanks of other people I am a fan of lights in the 12-14k range however I would love to hear some opinions on brands, also on a side note would there be anything that would need more light than 2 of these over a 75g

Reeflux 10 or 12k all THE WAY !! i LOVE my bulbs and that is what i run. i also got them from Mike at reefspecialty.com, he is a hell of a guy !! if you want to call him ... HIS number is on the site. the tank on the site is his and he runs 5 12k reeflux at 400w.

Reeflux is the only TRUE full spectrum MH bulb available right now. i have heard that 100 times !!

I'm currently running these in 20K:
REEF OPTICS : Aquarium Lighting Products
Simply because the guy I got the lights from gave me a pair. I'm might impressed for a $40.00 bulb. I have 20K XMs and 20K Radiums to compare them to, and they look great to my eye.
