Best starter AIO

Hey guys, I'm wanting to do a 8g nano/pico tank and I'm looking at the cadlights or the IM nuvo one, both I've read great things but it all comes down to mixed reviews on lighting. I want to be able to do Zoas, maybe a few mushrooms and a pulsing xenia as my nano reef, so what I'm asking is comparing the two, which one with stock lighting is the best option? I know people usually upgrade the stock lighting but for right now I'm wanting to stay stock because they say they're both capable of growing softies.

the IM nuvo: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006KRIOZK/...I2CF9EVPA05RDT

The Cadlights mini II: http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?m...roducts_id=184

Also for the people that have the cadlights 8g or would say go with that one, what do you think about the water spout being in the middle of the false wall? I've heard mixed reviews of it.

tl;dr: which AIO comes with better lights for softies, and all around better choice.
