I'm getting back into the reef hobby after taking a hiatus for about ten years. Quite a bit has changed, especially with lighting. My previous tanks were all metal halides, so it's been a bit of a learning curve of what the best route is for lighting.
My tank is a 36 gallon bowfront, with dimensions of 31"x21"x15". Since it is on the deeper end, I want to make sure I have enough par near the bottom. The inhabitants will be LPS and some SPS.
I've narrowed my choice down to the following:
I also recently was reading about the ReefBreeders Photon V2+, which had good reviews and PAR, at half the price. However, seems too good to be true.
Any advice?

I've narrowed my choice down to the following:
- Two Radion XR15 G5 Pros
- Have read good reviews overall with shimmer and control functions
- Finding it hard to figure out PAR on this one
- Two AI Hyrda 32 or one Hyrda 64
- Have read mixed reviews, but see these on a lot of tanks. Seems customer service is lacking if you run into product issues.
- Two Kessil A360 Tuna Blues
- All around good reviews, but have read that there are some areas of shadowing
