Moon lights are not going to make or break what I buy.

Pazil - good to know you like it! if you were out shopping for a light again would you buy the same one?

I don't think the moonlights are that big of a deal, you could always replace them. Big Al's has them running, you can see it there. They even have 3 different MH's in theirs so you can see the difference.

Don't buy it from there though, they are too expensive. The online store for them is about $400 cheaper, if they still have them. The store won't match the website, as they are 2 seperate entities.

Personally, I would buy the Coralife over the other. Reason is that it has 1Watt LED moon lights. This isn't common, and they are great. It is very quite. And I confirmed the magnetic ballasts that come with it, do push a realistic 250Watts (as per Coralife Tech's on the phone). Basically the same type of unit, but better LED's. Only difference is the it is Compact PC, which are 96Watt, more wattage and brighter (I think)

I am running my coralife unit now with Pheonix 14K with 10K/Actinics PC's and like the overall look. Very clean and bright looking with no yellowing.

I hope this helps.
