Thinking of buying a Solaris - selling Halides

So im thinking of buying a Solaris, 72" for my 180 g tank. Anyone have any feedback?

Currently i have three 250w pfo metal halides, 1 48" vho atinic, and 3 power compacts.

Additionally, I would need to sell my halides, so if anyone is interested, let me know.

for what I have read, the led are not spreding the ligth as the mh reflectos so you will be with some black spots in the back of your tank.
