48" MH/T5 fixture recommendations

I'm looking for a hanging fixture for my 120g which will be mostly LPS. I have been searching all over and there are not many reviews on different fixtures. I would like to spend $800 or less. Currently leaning toward a Giesemann Neptune 2x250 with 2x54W T5s. I would really appreciate any other recommendations as it is hard to spend that kind of money with very limited reviews.

I have an 8 bulb tek T5 fixture on my 120. Does a great job. No complaints about it. I have mostly sps in my tank also.

I have considered T5 lighting but would prefer MH/T5 combo. I don't think I would be happy without the shimmer of the halides, it livens up the tank...
