250W retro system from hellolights?

Anyone use or know how these 250 W HQI DE retro systems are from hellolights?

http://hellolights.com/25hlmhrekith.html

was thinking of getting this.

How about the 250 WATT 14K HQI REEFSTAR by Hamilton

Both systems are good. Retro looks good and affordable. Hamilton has good quality equipment though. Are you using a canopy?
