Kessil ideas for a 180 gal

When I upgrade from the 55 gal I have now to a 180 next year, I can't decide what I want to do about the lighting. I currently have two 360WEs over my 55 but I am also interested in trying out two AP700s on the new tank. If I did stick with the 360s, I would like to throw 4 80W T5s under a canopy with them but would I need one or two more 360s to help cover the 72"? I'd love to keep the clean look of just the fixtures hanging over the tank but I'm imterested to see how well a T5/kessil combo would look. Thoughts?

Do you feel like you could use one more 360? Any luck with SPS? Nice looking fixture!
