looking for lighting suggestions

Hello all, my good friend the government has given me some money and I plan on setting up a 75 sps and was looking for a good light fixture to buy. I'm thinking 2 by 250 watt mh with 4 by 54 watt t5. I was all into DIY on the canopy for my 29, but apparently my carpentry skills were not. It works great, but it doesn't look all that. Aka, the wife hates it. Any links to fixtures would be great. It seems like all the new fixtures are de mh, why not se? My current set up has se 175. I was looking at icecaps fixture with 250 de mh 2 54 watt t5 and 2 sets of LED's but I don't know about de. Any help is appreciated. Happy Reefing.
