Another Lighting Question

This is soooo hard and confusing so someone please help me. I have a 65 gallon that's about 24 inches deep. I will have live rock, fish, and soft corals. If I understand everything that I've been told, T5s are a better choice than CFs, VHOs are a better choice than T5s, and MHs rule. The problem is I can't use the MHs because I can't get them far enough away from the tank, so I'm considering the VHOs. The retro is a quad 95 watt VHO. Will that be sufficient? That's about 380 watts. The T5 retro that is also under consideration is a 8 x 39 watts with individual parabolic reflectors. Help... Please.
