Quick Question On Coralife

Hello all I have a quick question on some Coralife fixtures.
I am going to buy some lights right now for my 55 and am set on either of these two here.
They are both coralife fixtures. One is a coralife CD-18790, and the other is a coralife CD-14069.
My question is will the Coralife adjustable mounting brackets (CD-21147) work for either, and which setup is better? I would assume the one with the lunars, but tell me what u all think.
Here are the Descriptions and pics of both, and the brackets.

(They are the black ones on the bottom pic.)

def spend the extra couple bucks for the lunars I have 4 sets of the coralife lightsall with lunars the fish realy do like the effects they wont hide at night.as for the legs go for the adjustable legs the clear plast ones pop off very easliy and are a pain to keep on if you need to move your lights for any reason they break very easily.adjustables are a def plus
