I've looked at those PAR 38's as well, however those are $100/bulb + fixtures unless you get them from alibaba or something.
So in the end it seems like I should just wait, save a bit and put the money into the photo 24 w/ 90 optics. Might be a couple dark spots near the outside of the tank but the LPS can survive there and the future SPS would be good in the middle.

2x Par38 bulb @ $40
2x Fixtures @ $7 from Rona
While this is my refugium set up, this has been sustaining clams and SPS for quite a few months now. Cheap, easy to clean, and simple to find.
Or save your pennies look for a used fixture; AI Sol, Kessil, etc. The forums here for hardware sales are very active. Youre also in Edmonton, lots of local there and LFSs for you to see a lot of these in action too.
