Lighting Question

I am wanting to upgrade my lighting. I currently am running a coral life 260w PC fixture.
I can reasonably afford a HO T-5 unit 10,000k 2x54 watts. that will put me at 108 watts of HO T-5. This is on a 75g, will that 108w be enough light to make the switching over worth it?

T-5 are significantly more efficient but you're not going to get more light by switching from 260w of PC to 108w of T-5.
4 X 54w T-5 would be an upgrade but 2 X isn't in my opinion.
