Exclamation What would you do?

I am in the market for a T5 light, I am torn between the ATI Power Module and the Aquactinics consellation. I have also heard about a modified Aquactinics with LED's in the works. I know that I would rather have the modified one rather than the previous two I have mentioned. I just don't know how long I can wait. Does anyone have a clue as to when the modified one will come out. I have tried to contact Aquactinics and no one has responded. If this is the kind of customer service I can expect I might as well go with the ATI. I just don't know.

48" the tank is 24" deep. I am planning on keeping a mixed tank. How will the sunpower hold up to sps's? I also heard that there were problems with the ATI's ballasts going bad.

there was a problem with the Power Module ballast going bad, there has been no negative reviews on the Sunpower, believe me, i've looked. My tank is also 24" deep.

when i asked TheGrimReefer about a the sunpower his response was "Unless you want a absolute SPS garden top to bottom the Sunpower is fine." and "The sunpower (which I own) is plenty for a mixed reef with SPS on a 90. "
