Lumenbars

So I ordered your v2+ 50 and it should be in this week. This is for a 125g 18" in width x 72" long. I have a custom valence built that housed 32" SBR & 2 16" Mars. (one on ea. side) The problem I have is I am getting some STN on just the front bottom of some large birds nest. Do you think this new light will have a broader coverage? Or, do I need to add a lumen bar to the front? I have 10 1/2" of front to back valence depth. Also the bottom of my valence is hung 12" above the top of tank. I can bring the lights up higher. The current lights are 14" above water. What is optimal height? Mixed reef lots of sps.
 
From BRS testing, they say it should be up at 16"

You had mentioned you'd share the actual wattage used for the bars (vs. Listed wattage), but I couldn't find that update. Will you provide that information?

I'm looking into these now, but was looking for that info when I stumbled onto this thread.
