Looks sharp. Let me know how you like the Hydra's. When I set up my 150 in the basement I might be looking to cut costs when it comes to the lights as well. Rather the Vega's I might look at the Hydra's as well.
May be worth while sticking with the Vega's for that tank. The main difference between the two is that the Vega uses the more powerful XM-L 10 watt whites where as the Hydra is using the latest and most efficient XT-E 5 watt whites. That extra punch that the Vega's have might come in handy for a taller tank like your 150g.
I'm expecting the two fixtures to be plenty for my tank for whatever I want to try and keep. But I probably will retrofit a couple of T5's with reflectors into the canopy as well. More or less so that I can have more options when it comes to taking pics. And back up or supplement lighting if need be.
