Hydra 52 x 2 or pacific sun pandora s2 for 75g reef?

If both cost the same which would you use for better growth? The pandora is 3x75w led and 4xt5s

I would definitely go for the T5/LED combo. You'll have less shadowing and more even overall coverage.

My friend wants to trade his Pandora for my 2 hydra 52s that's why I'm asking before making the trade.

I've got to think you have pretty good coverage without shadowing on a 75 with the 2 52's? Obviously keep in mind the other costs associated with replacing T5 bulbs and energy. Personally I love my AI's on my 75, but just my opinion. I have good growth, and haven't been able to turn them above 75% without frying everything.
