MH Lighting Brand X vs Brand Y

Not looking for any explanation of the Odyysea lights as i have read hundreds of posts on them already but i am looking for any possible reviews/feedback/experience with the second brand of lights (Degen company).

I understand neither of these are your "top of the line" lights and i am ok with that.

Just looking to compare these 2 fixtures. ( i want to get 2 for my 72" 125g tank with a center brace)

or

http://www.reefshops.com/metal-halid...ho-2x39w-.html

Both are 2x250 MH which i want. I understand both lights will need ballast/bulb upgrades and i am ok with that. One has PC and the other T5 and i do realize that difference. Its just supplemental light so i dont care either way.

Anybody have any experience with the Degen light?

stay away from power compacts

I like VHO for atinic supplimentation but T5 gives you a nice palet of colors
