Which reflector should I use?

I am starting a 40G Rimless Tank(2' x 2' x 16"). I am planning on having a XM 20K on an HQI ballast. Should I go with the Lumenarc or the Lumen Bright?? I have read all the articles on how the Lumen Brights are a brighter more precise light; where as the Lumen Arc is a little more evenly spread and not quite as bright. I am looking for more opinions to help me decide.

Thanks.

Dave

Well you made the right choice IMO

Thanks for the vote of confidence... I figured since my tank is 24" x 24"; I don't really need the extra wide coverage which the Lumenarc offers.

You and your tank will love this reflector.
