Something you may notice making the switch is the look. Small emitter leds are spotlights and t5s are a blanket of light. Anti led say spot Light , anti t5 say it looks flat.
SO consider the look you want to avoid fixing shading issues later.
Multiple small fixtures can help do that. I honestly don’t reccomend 2 kessil 360 on a tank. I’d use 4-6 160s for that reason.
Consider getting a par meter. The seneye is cheap.
Check the max intensity the lights you use will give you.
IMO , the razor has always been underrated and I’m not sure why.
Maxspect has always had great specs on their lights. Plus multiple led clusters. One of our LFS Has on in a tank and it’s prettt nice. I don’t app. I set the the light and walk away. It’s slower that way. No knee jerk adjustments.
My self, I prefer large emitter arrays. It naturally covers the tank and they are larger so give even coverage. The leds give a natural shimmer. So it’s look is t5 with a stunner strip. My tanks have black boxes , big lights and I used diffusion’s and pulling lenses to actually reduce shimmer. It looks just like my metal halide fixture.
Take a poke at Orphek if you like that idea. Or consider twin something like Reefbreeder photons or SB ultras. There is no worry on shading there. Or twin razors.
I don’t know much about the recurve. It’s the most power of all your choices I belive. Looked good on the tanks I’ve seen.
Fwiw , I belive the power goes like this from low to high. Ai , razor , recurve.
