Default Help Lighting shallow 90g (ATI or New Fishneedit?)

I've recently found this reef forum, and can't say how pleased I am in finding a Canadian source for this hobby. That being said I'm looking for Canadian $ friendly light for my new 90 gallon build. I want to grow primarily LPS, few softies, zoa's and some SPS. A real mix reef if I can. My tank is 48 long, 24 wide, 18 tall. I am also looking for the real color pop, and not too concerned with fast growth. So I was thinking of going T5.

I should be able to afford a 48" 6 bulb ATI SunPower once my tank is cycled. Would be enough for what I want to do with my tank size?

I am also very curious about the 2x150w mh with 2x2bulb T5's (4 total) fixture from www.fishneedit.com. I figure with only 18" deep tank 150w halides would be good, and I could get 4 t5's for the color....what's your thoughts on that as compared to the ATI? Does anyone have a fishneedit light for a reef tank? http://fishneedit.com/2-x-150w-mhl-w...t-2150224.html

Are there other options you guys might recommend?
