For me T5 is the way to go more because of the heat potential of MH, The Tek is probably the best fixture, Current NOVA extreme is little less cash and a really nice light, I run it on my 75, but you really cnat beat the TEK. as far as MH, there is no way to argue the quality of MH is excellent, but the fixture youre looking at has one drawback the PC lights, if your going MH combo find something using T5 supplemental lamps over the PC, the lamp choices and lamp life are much better with T5.
