Personally, I really like StarPhire. I think its worth the extra cost.
Check out this pic I took of my tank before I set everything up. StarPhire on the right, regular glass on the left.  By the way, some punctuation would make your post A LOT easier to read and you may get more feedback.  Brandon

Depends on the price difference. Starfire looks great when side-by-side with a regular glass tank, but I'm not sure you'll notice much of a difference day to day. Unless you're setting up next to a normal glass tank ;-) It might be a better investment to just buy a really good magfloat scraper and use it daily

I just got my Lee-Mar starphire 120 gallon tank tonight. All I can say is, it's worth every penny. Can't wait to get started.

It also depends on how long you plan on having this tank before upgrading. Some people stick with a size, others have it for two weeks then decide on something bigger. After having my 40Br for dang near 5 years... I wish I had made it starphire.
