I will be setting up a new IM nuvo 100 ext in a few months, It will be SPS dominate.So far I have two ideas for lighting
3 x Reefi Uno 2.x Pro or 2 x orphek Natura fixtures. I am just curious what yall think of these setups or what would you use?

​

 
I have no experience with any of those fixtures but one thing to consider is not only the performance of the light, but also the performance of the controller mechanism, which in most cases now is an app. A bad app can ruin the experience with a good light.
 
SPS dominate generally means lots of light, therefore I would lean towards the 3 light option, more flexible, reduce shadowing, and those lights on paper at least are more powerful.
