Kessil Ap700(s) rock - I have two over a 5ft tank.... Great sps growth in the nine months I've had them going (I had switched from 2x250w hqi and 2x54w t5). On a 4ft tank, I could see the ends of the tank being a little thin with one unit. Of course, that is where you could put your cyphastrea, lapastrea, leptoseris, acans, etc. 
In terms of being over that middle 2.5-3ft, not sure you could get better spread than an LED alone (no t5) than the ap700... talking high end acros and such in that core area. Very happy with them. I know folks love the Hydra's and such also. I went Kessil and can't see my self changing any time soon.

I've had kessils before and I never got good growth from them. Right now I run hydra 26's HD and been happy ever since. Since your running primes? I'd go one more in the middle or 1 Hydra 26 HD in the middle, I'm not saying nothing bad about kessils.
Kessils are great! I had an ai prime......for a few days. It was ai junk, had to reset the app everyday.
Then later I got a white ai prime, then after awhile, the same thing.
So I got another kessil, and lone behold...........it works like it's SUPPOSED to and no problems at all.
Oh, and it grows stuff awesomely!

hey man, what percentages did you start at and currently run at? I'm still dialing in mine and any info would be awesome!Kessil Ap700(s) rock - I have two over a 5ft tank....

Not all about light. I can be using the same light as you and not get results, not even similar, experts know very well what each kind of light ... I repeat .. you can not ask for lemons the olive tree ... no It is if I explain.
