When you say money is not an issue go buy 2 Radion G4 Pro or 2 Orphek atlantik V3. If you want to have your wallet still like you go take a look at www.sbreeflights.com

Have you thought about why you want to replace the current light?
It might help to list out some reasons.
That might help give you something specific to shoot for or avoid in the next light.
(There's probably nothing very wrong with the current light as far as your corals are concerned.)

I'm running radion G3 and kessil on the same tank... growth seems to be a LOT slower than my T5 friends... 
so maybe consider a T5/LED hybrid if money is no issue

What he said!^^^^
I noticed a huge increase in growth when I switched from just LED to an LED/T5 hybrid.

Comparing with someone else's tank is comparing apples to oranges – lighting is too far from the only factor at work.
Posting before/after lux readings (or PAR readings) would give a basis for comparison in both of these cases and make these results more useful to everyone.
(Lux meters are free, so there's hardly a reason not to measure anymore.)

FYI I have 3 MH fixtures with balast if you would be interested in that.
With that said I would go Two AI Hyrda 52's with t5 supplement.

Kessil/T5 combo!
Forget that, go get a solatube and bring the sun in! Plus use any led of your choice.
I like kessil, but hate that dont dim all the way to zero then shut off. Shuts off at like 10-15% brightness which is pretty bright.

That Quad Plus and Quad Wide are pretty sick... NanoBox has come a ways!
