What is the best lighting option for both corals and macro algae in a mixed reef display tank?

I currently have an AI Prime 16HD. But I read that full spectrum might be better for macros. Can the Prime provide good light to both the macros and the coral? Or should I switch to something like a Twinstar S series full spectrum light?

AI primes are a good choice. I have no experience with Twinstar.
