What LED light to go with T5?

I have a diy t5 build in the hood of my 100 gallon tank, two either side of the middle! They are 54 watt t5's, and I am hoping to create an incredible SPS tank, and I believe the supplementation of LED's with t5's will be great. My question is, what LED? Kessil? Ai Prime HD ect?

I like kessils, as they bring incredible shimmer. T5's are a flat light type so adding shimmer would be nice. You can spread them apart without spending as much for coverage like the competitors.

Thanks! Yeah from what I've read the kessils would do nicely with the T5's!
