90 gallon LED suggestions

Interesting that nobody mentioned Radions. It seemed like years ago these were the "go-to" LED's to have. Is there a tendency for reefers to be steering away from them? If so, is it mainly due to cost?
I just bought two G5XR15's for a relatively new 40G cube (for SPS only). These are my first LED's after 24 years of halides, so I have no way to compare them to other LED's.
My initial post I asked to exclude ecotech maybe that’s why. I can’t justify the cost right now seeing as I’m just starting this build. I do appreciate having all the different opinions though
 
I also have a 90 gallon and I just picked up two 24” Photon V2+ from someone on this website. Love these lights. My only issue was that my canopy wasn’t long enough to fit both lights so I had to get rid of it.
 
I'm not sure what your budget is, but I switched my 90g over to a single Photon V2+ (48) ~$700 and have no trouble lighting anything I want in the tank. I've got LPS, SPS etc.. and they are doing pretty well. I haven't even ramped it up to anywhere near 100%. My PAR about mid-tank is 350. I also considered 2 fixtures, but I haven't seen where bridging the center brace with a single fixture has really impacted anything. The Photon has some nice features for ramping up/down and pretty easy to program once you get the hang of it.

This! Great fixture. My max is only about 45% and I'm getting great color. I'm considering going a little higher, but I'm still light acclimating some corals and don't want to mess with the settings yet.
 
Do they easily fit in a 48 aquatic life fixture? Any customization needed? I’m considering switching to one.
 
dont know if you made a choice but i got a photon about 2 week ago switched from mars aqua and am very happy with it easy to set up and my lps are looking better than ever added a high octane uv and probably gonna pick up the new uv/blue combo led bar that just came out
