Lighting my future 120

[eros]

I'm going to be upgrading from a 75 to a 120 in the next month or 2 so I'm in the planning stages, most of my equipment is up to par but I'm trying to decide what to do with my lighting. Right now I running 2 175 watt Iwasaki's on my 75. I also have a 4 bulb retro kit in storage from before I switched. I need to decide if I should use both the 175's and the T5s or just go with 8 T5's. What do you guys think? I was running T5's on my 75's then switched to the 175 just to give halides a shot. I've noticed my corals had much better coloration under T5's.

The benefit of going all T5's would be better color (probably) and lower energy consumption. I'd be looking at 432watts with 8 T5's vs. 566 watts with the MH/T5 combo.

Or should I scrap everything and get dual 250's?
