I just prefer the look of actinic produced by T5s & VHO. The other thing is power - 4 x 96w is a lot of electricity for actinic, while I plan to retrofit 4 x 55w HO T5 actinics into the hood instead. If my ballast could handle it, I would even go with retrofitting 6' VHO (one Daylight/one Super Actinic).
Don't get me wrong, I really like the Aqualight Pro and with the 14000k Aquaconnect bulbs I got from Hidden Reef (Mike) the LPS dominated reef really stands out & grows well without any actinic. I would just like to change my options for Dawn/Dusk effects to a lower wattage system.

That Outer Orbit light looks like it will do a great job for your application, Skimmin.
