These tanks all have acros on the lower portion of their tank - possibly deep water acros. Like you said, alot of reef keepers like to keep acros high up for two reasons:

1. Aesthetics - corals grow upwards.

2. Maximize (keyword) SPS growth.

The light you're using serves a third reason - your acro would most likely not thrive if it was placed lower in your tank due to a lack of light penetration. If that's the case, how many acros would you keep? The point being illustrated is that a better lighting system also allows a larger variety of locations for coral to be placed.
