I got a Current USA Dual Satellite for my 60 gal (48" long) and I am happy with it. I also have a Current USA Satellite for my 30 gal (30" long) and I am ok with it. I wish it had the actinic / sun control as the Dual Satellite has. The Dual Satellite has seperate plugs for the actinic, sun, lunar and fan; so you can control each of them independantly. I think I spent about $200 on mine from the LFS.
btw, if you get it, don't believe that it doesn't come with mounting legs, they do!

Many Anemones do require the intensity of a MH, but there are some that do not. Research research research. Their is PC(which I would say is adequate for some) and then there is MH. I went with adequate. Anything less is just not for SWF.
Maybe one day, I'll build a custom hood, rip apart my PC light and build it into my custom hood along with a couple MH 150s. But I am at least several months away from tackeling that project.
