I was looking at the 60inch version, MH and T5's are nice. T5's have seperate reflectors which are good.

Reason I didn't buy was for 2 reasons:
1.) LED's are not that bright
2.) MH ballasts are magnetic, not electronic

so I kept my Coralife unit, as it had better LED's, and I confirmed with Coralife that the magnetic ballasts that come with it do push out 250Watts. some magnetics don't do that.

Otherwise the Current USA are good products overall.
