Reflectors?? comments

[BCOrchidGuy]

I was looking at J&Ls site and am contemplating two of the optima reflectors. I got a good deal on a Coralife 2x175MH 2x40NO unit ($150Cdn) no bulbs of course. I was thinking though of installing the reflectors in it, does anyone have any opinions on these reflectors?

From these tests, the PFO Parallel reflectors seem to reflect more than the Optimal:
