heres the par data for this light
http://www.fluvalaquatics.com/ca/freshwater/aquarium-lighting/series/desktop-nano-series/
apparently it puts out 88 par at 6 inches.

or just a single 9watt 50/50 bulb in a pretty good reflector. One of these will be used for a 3 gallon with only soft corals.

Which one would work better?

More light is better for corals.
Both put out a minimum but I think for some softies you'll be fine.
What is the foot print of your tank.

Positive.
Try to find one with 12K light for more pop on fish and coral color, 12K is even better.

Is this a 50/50 PC bulb?
You also can opt for a Kessil, you can set the strength on blue and white from 0 to 100% and play with the color combo a bit.
very good results on Nano tanks.
And used you can find the for just one franklin sometimes.
