What Would You Do? Live Rock Choice

Hey everybody, I need to get live rock for my 210 pretty soon, when I finally get water in it. I plan to spend $800, what would you choose:

150 pounds of Marshall ordered from supplier by LFS
200 pounds of Fiji from an online vendor

I am leaning toward Marshall because I have read that it is pretty much the best rock and because 150 pounds of it may be close to 180 pounds of Fiji in volume. I just would like to hear other peoples input.
Matt

I have MI rock in my tank and it is by far the best rick I have ever used. To me that fiji rock is just too dense. With MI you will also get better shapes as well. My vote goes to MI.

Thanks for your input, maybe I should have made this a poll.

I would go for the Pukani rock if it were me.

Go with the MI and if you need some base rock, you can go that route as well.
