Lighting upgrade

I'm debating upgrading my lighting. I have a 65g reef with 36" PCs. My lfs has a 36" used Hamilton VHO fixture with new bulbs. 96wx4. They are asking $300 but I could probably get slightly better deal on it. It retails for $500 new. My first choice was a 6x39w Nova extreme pro t5 fixture for around the same price, brand new. So im looking at 384w vho or 234w t5's. Which one should go with?

The Pro would be a decent choice, but for the depth you might be happier with something with a little more power like the 8-bulb TEK.

I plan on buying this weekend. Anyone have any other recommendations? Should I just stick with pcs and replace the bulbs?

what do you want to do with your tank? i have a 65g and have a 2x150w MH HQI Sunpod. I love it and am keeping mostly sps and have 2 clams.
