Recently purchased a Red Sea 200xl. It came with a AI Prime. Is that enough light? Should I buy another AI or are there better recommendations?

Recently bought a Red Sea 200xl secondhand. Got a pretty good deal. It did come with a AI Prime 16 HD. I thought that would be enough for most everything but seems like SPS is a no-go. Should I get a second one? Would that be enough? Or is there a recommendation for a better light that would cost what I'd save not buying another + reselling this one? I want the ability to do most types of coral and place them in their preferred locations without adjusting things.

The AI prime is a nice light. For softies and LPS, it would be fine. For acropora, a second one would be better.
