PFO 8* t-5 vrs DIY 6*vho

Looking for feedback

Thinking of replacing my DIY cap with 6 48inch 110w VHO bulbs with a 8*54w 48 inch T-5 "Polyp light" from PFO.

Though the wattage is lower, I'm thinking this will be an upgrade. Would you agree? Anyone have the PFO Polyp light? Like it?

Thanks

PFO site
They clearly use a single reflector, You really want one with individual ones.
