Default LED vs T5 for 20g nano

Hey,
I am looking at buying a fixture for my 20g nano, and I have narrowed it down to 2 fixtures:
Vertex Illumilux II LED Fixture - Marino Bianco (24 Inch)
-50/50 Royal Blue(450nm) - White(7000K)

Sunlight Supply New wave T5 fixture with
-2 Korallen-Zucht 24W Coral Light T5 Flourescent Bulbs
-1 Korallen-Zucht 24W Super Blue T5 Flourescent Bulb
-1 Korallen-Zucht 24W Fiji Purple T5 Flourescent Bulb

I am wondering if the LED fixture will provide enough lighting for coral. The T5 setup is approx $60 more , plus the cost of replacing bulbs, but if it will look way better , it is worth it.

What do you think? LED or T5?
