Anyone have experience with SunPod lighting fixtures?

I'm setting up a new all glass tank. 20X20X60 approximately 125 gallons. I'm considering the new SunPod 60" lighting fixture with 14000K metal halides.

Has anyone had any experience with the SunPod products? Is there something else that I should consider?

Thanks,
Diaman

I've been using a 30" for couple months, just switched out the bulb for the iwasaki 150w aqua2, and color is more to my liking, but most would probably like the 14k blue better as it is a darker blue. the iwasaki is noticeably brighter and a lighter blue.
The fan in the sunpod isn't exactly on the quiet side, but it doesn't bother me. I like the led look as well for night.

Thanks Rob. The tank will be in my office & if the fans are loud they may drive me nuts!
