I think you should also check out www.reefradiance.com :) Definitely worth your time!
We need a little more info. Is it a fish only or reef tank? If reef, what kind of corals do you want to keep (SPS, LPS, softies)? Do you have a budget in mind?

Mixed reef tank, not sure what kinds of coarls yet. budget 200 to 400. i just want an all around led light.
I think that you might have a hard time finding an LED fixture that will cover a 60" wide display with SPS in your price range. The Current fixture should have no trouble supporting softies and some types of LPS. I am a fan of their timer/controller though.

The Current Marine is a very nice fixture and would be fine for fish only, but I would look at alternatives if you’re doing a mixed reef. This is coming from experience as I now have the Current fixture sitting in the garage!
For that price range I would look at the Reef Radiance or Reefbreeder LEDs if you want to grow coral.
There are some good ones in the for sale section right now.
In the $400 price range, you may be able to get away with two Reefkeepers SuperLux fixtures. They would cover 60" and allow you to do SPS in the areas under the fixture and softies out on the edges....
