Lumenarc reflectors for 120g (4'x2'): mini or fullsize?

Is the difference in performance over a 2'x2' area significant?

If not, I would prefer to use the smaller minis...
(I plan to use 2 lumenarc reflectors with 250w bulbs.)

2 of the Lumenarc III's would cover it easily

Use the mini's, especially if you're cramming them into a canopy and will be squeezing supplemental lighting in as well. If the tank was 30" wide, then I'd use the large L3's.

I have the minis on my 120. They fit perfectly.

What made you decide to go with lumenarc over the lumenbrights

From what I have read, the Lumenbrights are newer but not better IMO...
