Opinions on aqueon dual t5 fixture

[Civilized_drifter]

So my local petsmart has 2 aqueon dual t5 light fixtures on clearance for $35.99. They have had them for a couple months now and no one has bought them. I was wondering if they would be any count for a newbie reefer like myself. I'm currently building a 40b. The bulbs that come with them are a 6,700k and a color max but I know I will be changing them out for something different when I get all my parts together. Should I spend the $70+ for these fixtures or just go with a decent set of leds? I'm trying to stay on a budget and these just seem too good to pass up. Thanks for your input, it will be greatly appreciated! http://www.amazon.com/Aqueon-AQE40201-Lighting-Aquarium-30-Inch/dp/B00893F492

Don't forget to take into account the cost of the bulbs... A decent 2 channel LED fixture could run you $199 for your size tank and last you quite a few years longer.
