Lighting for a 58

Curently I have an oceanic 58 gallon with mostly LPS and one ,I think dead now, SPS. Over it is a sunpod 150W MH that is in desperate need of a new bulb that is hung about 9" off the water surface.
My question is, should I stick with this light and get a new bulb plus maybe some led actinics on it, or ditch the 150w and upgrade to something with a little more light? If so, any recommendations that aren't over 250ish?

Matter of taste, but for LPS, a nice used T5 set up would be nice. More energy efficient, plenty of cheap bulb options that you'll replace less often than MH Bulbs. Different combinations to enhance the color you want too. Win win win....
 
I agree with cully. If you want to really make the lps pop t-5 is a great choice. I personally went with leds over my 65 (basically same tank) but I have mainly sps and love it
