lighting for 120

So I am looking to pick up a 120 gallon tank (48x24x24). I am upgrading the tank build as I was going to do a 93 cube (30x30x24). I have already bought 2 Kessil a360WE for the anticipated cube build but I believe I will need more light for the 120. The Kessil has a 24x24 spread but not sure that would be enough.

My thoughts are:

1 - Try it with the 2 Kessils and see how it works out
2 - Buy a third Kessil a360
3 - Buy a Cebu Sun 24 combo unit (concerned about heat though will be open top)
4 - Buy dimmable ATI Sunpower 4x24 (same type of heat concern)

I do keep mainly LPS but I do have a SPS and will probably grab a few more in the larger tank. My main pull though is my acans.

So what are the thoughts of you all on here? I do have heat and light spread concern as I do not plan on a canopy.
 
I would say to try it with the 2 you have and see how it goes for a few days or a week. If you don't like it or your PAR meter says it's needed, order a third A360. Marine Depot will get it to you pretty quick. Though I would probably go for T5 strips myself, to be honest, over another LED pendant.
