Lumatek E-Ballast or IceCap Electronic Ballast?

Which ballast would be better for a system running 250W Reeflux 10K bulbs with LumenBright (mogul) reflectors?

the lumateks push a little more to the bulb and are $10 cheaper i believe the new models are variable output.

icecaps keep there value. new there around $129 and used you still get over $100

i dont think you can go wrong with either.

Thanks. I did see that Marine Depot is running a sale on the Lumateks ($119.99).
