I wouldn't bother with a VHO setup unless I found a used one for nearly free on craigslist.
VHO uses a TON of electricity compared to T5. T5 puts out quite a lot more PAR for the watt than VHO. I can't say that based on any study I've done or read, but based on the fact that you have people all over the place growing SPS under T5, but nearly nobody being successful with SPS and VHO bulbs. Spend your money on a standard T5HO retrokit, like the IceCap or TEK retros from Reefgeek.
