Help with two lighting choices

[PeterB]

Hi,
I recently posted a question regarding upgrding my lighting to either T5's or CF's.

The general response was that I go with CF's. (Thanks for the previous help) So I have narrowed it down to two different fixtures. Both available on Ebay and I was hoping that someone could help me make the final descicion. I don't really know much about either company.

1) 36" JBJ 96W PC AQUARIUM LIGHTING

2) 36" Aqualight™ Freshwater 96 Watts

What kind of bulb does the first one come with? I cant seem to find it.

The first one comes with a choice between either a 96watt combo bulb(half white/half blue) or a 96watt 6500K white bulb for freshwater planted aquariums.

Honestly either would be great. I haven't run a JBJ, but the have excellent quality products. The only reason I might recommend the Coralife is because it is more common at LFS, and it might be easier to find parts.
