Default Power Compact Product Comparison/Question

"I'd like what's behind Door #2, Chuck."

The first one seems very overpriced to me, but maybe it looks simply awesome.

You can get retro kits for $199, with 4 55w PC bulbs and dual ballasts from
HelloLights.com (if they've not changed their prices recently). However, that
doesn't include a nice canopy. 55w bulbs are 22" long, but my 29g is only 30"
wide. Even if you went with this option, you could stagger the bulbs to give you
good coverage.

I was looking at two power compact products for my 30 gallon tank:

1. Custom Sea Life 2 x 96W 36" Hood w/fan $409.99
or
2. Coralife 2 x 96W 36" Hood w/fan $209.99

What gives with the price difference? The Coralife is a new product. I wonder
if thay are finally putting out a light that is reasonably priced?

Any thoughts, ideas, or warnings.
