In my very limited experience but totally accurate opinion jk

I would say go t5. I love leds and the shimmer, and color options but from what i've seen and experienced (again limited) is t5 tanks usually have nice colors then led. I think leds have a better actinic color though if that makes any sense. Fwiw and you know this, as fast as the leds are evolving youll shell out for a fixture that will be T12 compared to t5 in a year. I still think leds have a long way to come before I would use them for coral again. I do love them on my freshy tanks though

Nvm just reread the post!! If your chasing sps colours hands down t5 but you soon want some pop pop so you will add some blues and royal blues .

maybe you can be the guinea pig for everyone and get the sunpower and run it for a bit then i will give ya a LED to run for a while and if neither is to your liking we can try a hybrid. I just am not sure on how the T5s hold up for resale value as i wouldn't want you to lose money when you sell it at the end
