Metal Halide with VHO fixtures... with good reflectors?

I'm looking for a MH w/ VHO fixture that has really good reflectors. About all I can find is the Hamiltons that appear to have the basic reflector.

Planning a rimless so I would like a fixture or maybe build my own with Lumenbright minis. Problem is LBs need to be high off the water and I'm not sure how to do this if I build it myself... the VHO actinics would need to be in a separate housing beside the pendants so it may start to look too junky with 2 Pendants and separate VHO pendants. So the Hamiltons would work but I'm just not too crazy about they're reflectors.

Another idea I have is have some sheet metal specially made to house everything.

Any suggestions on how I can have my cake and eat it?
