Advice

Hey all,
I've been looking for Chinese LED boxes for new 120g, to supplement by 2 Kessil a150's and I need some advice.
There's a guy on craiglist selling 3 boxes for 200 dollars, and they've been used for a year and a half.
I could also buy a pair of MarsAqua lights for 190 from Ebay
What should I go with, theres 3 boxes in the craigslist ones, but they are slightly older, but there's 2 mars aqua, brand new

thanks

SB Reef Lights are worth a look. I really like mine over my 120.
