Opinions on Hamilton Tech. MH

I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on Hamilton's retrofit kits. Im looking at getting either the 175w or 250w 48" 2xMH with 2x PC's. Any observations on them good or bad? Would I be better off with something else.

Tank will be a 120g (48x24x24) and a custom made hood.

Thanks,
Matt

I like Hamilton. I'm looking at getting a 3 MH and T5 set up from them. They have good customer service, when i was looking at buying my current set up, they spent quite a lot of time answering questions for my LFS and me and helping us get a good set up for my tank. I started out with the 10K and it was a nice bright white but even with my VHO's everything looked washed out, so I switched to the 14K which I really love. But they are good company if thats what you're asking.
