$140 Black box vs $80 black box

[CookieRdReef]

Looking into 2 black box 165w lights for my 6 mth old 75g mixed reef. Amazon sells a few including the popular Viparspectra and MarsAqua for $140. There are also $80 options with decent reviews. The $80 options appear to have no uv and are not as controllable. I dont mind the control aspect because I use another light that can ramp up and down along with Alexa plug-ins for start time. Is the uv worth the extra $60 per light or save some $? Opinions? Thanks!

I believe 80 bucks have no timers so add back to cost.
May not be appropriately fire rated.

visparspecta is best buy

Beautiful tank! Not being fire rated is not great. Thanks for the info!

Plus one on the viparspectras. Built in timer, LCD screen to see exact percentages, one cord plus a remote to change settings. I have a sps dominant 220 and the colors and growth are great with this light.
If you buy from Viparspectras ebay page they are $128.99.
