Upgrade my HID from 175 Watts x 2 to 250 Watts x 3

I currently have a 125 gallon reef setup. I have had it setup for about 2 years now.

Currently I just have just few corals:

1) Frog Spawn,
2) Mushrooms
3) Polyps
4) ect....

I'm afraid to get more due to my current light setup.

I'm thinking of upgrading my light setup from two 175 Watt 10K Metal Halide (Mogule Base) to the following:

Output:
MH 250W x3.
65W straight pin power compact x2.
96W straight pin power compact x2.
Lunar LED x8.

Is this a good setup? (Not sure if I want stay with 10K or try the 15K setup)

Here's the light I want to buy. My tank is 60" long (125 gallon)

So do you think this light setup on Ebay is any good?
