The thing to find out is if both fixtures have individual bulb reflectors. The closer to parabolic shape they are the better. If they both have that then i would go with the sundial since it has a timer built in. A nice little perk that will keep you from having to go out and buy a timer which will probably close to make up for the cost difference anyway.

The nova extreme pro have the "individual" reflectors and would be the better choice over those two. They are really individual but they are shaped around the bulbs.
