New light advice

[CoralOfDuty]

Ok So straight to the point.
Im not sure which lights to go with. I can either buy 2 brand new Ocean Revive Arctic T247s, or pick up 2 used AI Sol Blues with the controller for roughly the same price.
Im really not looking to spend a ridiculous amount of money, and price is a concern. Hence why i was looking at used Sols.
I see so many people looking to dump their Sols, and have read a few threads on RC with many different opinions on them. Anyone got any advice that would help push me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
Nick

Are you dead set on LEDs? I run an ATI t5 on my 75 with amazing growth.

Also have another buddy leaving the hobby. Has a Vertex Illumina led unit. Has the added on color modules. Kind of expensive though.

Yes. I think I've figured out what i want to do now though. Im pretty set on trying to find 2 kessil 350w for a decent price. Totally different direction but since I'm starting from scratch on a new tank, my main concern is growth and not really bells n whistles like thunderstorms and all. Ive yet to find someone who was unhappy with kessils. They seem to get the job done!
