I looked around and found more references to the reef brite xho fixture, so that's what I bought to go with my ATI Sunpower fixture.
I got the that matched the length of my fixture.
It comes tomorrow.

Good link posted by @Water Dog. I have both and honestly do not think that spending the extra money on the ReefBrite gives you necessarily and better results. These days i am using the ReefBrite on my frag tank and it has pretty good coverage. I cannot compare like the guy in the link did, but I'd say save the money and get the sBars and invest the savings in other lighting. Just my $0.02.
The sBars also match better with the ATI fixture.

Excellent link @Water Dog
Are you limited to Sb reef and reefbrite or you are open to others like orphek and reefbreeders ?
Both reefbreeders and Orphek will customize with the wavelengths you want and are cheaper than
Just ideas - personally I run the tech from reefbrite and simply love the subtle supplement it provides to my halides and T5s.

I contacted Joy at Reefbrite and special ordered my Reefbrite Actinic XHO strip in the silver aluminum housing through Premium Aquatics to match my ATI fixture.

I now wish I had done a little more research.
I didn't know that could be done.
It seems like Reefbrite has discontinued the Tech strips in the aluminum housing, so I’m not sure it can still be done. I special ordered mine last year, no extra charge! 
For anyone interested in seeing if this can still be done, contact Joy at Reefbrite, she’ll get back to you quickly.

Given the data shown in the mentioned comparison thread, I went with SB Reef Lights. I was looking for that led pop and the royal blue leds on the sBar do a great job of that.

I don't think Orphek makes a 60" model

About time. People like me including having blood in them to make a 60 inch. Of course this is after I already have a 48 inch version of their purple actinic. Maybe I’ll add the royal blue in the future in 60 inch.
