I am one of the people included in this. I switched from LED back to T-5 because I just wasn't happy with the new technology and its results. Not saying LED can't grow corals, I just wasn't happy with my results.
If you are already set up for halide, I'd go with it … on a tank your size, its not like you have 8 bulbs to change every 6 months. Halide is going to be perfect.
