120cm over light recommendations

[Miggsyman]

So just sold my old tank and got a new rimless opti white setup and looking for advice on a good over light
Tank is 120cm W x 55cm F-B and 53cm high
Running CO2 with flora nutribase under fine gravel hoping to get monte Carlo to start to carpet

I looked at the Twinstar 1200S but seeing if any other options

Don't mind the cost just want to get it right first

Sure but what is getting it right? To some its sunset/dimming/color channels.. To others it might just be photons/$$'s and just on/off.

GHL Mitras is an "everything" type light.
2 7204s at 131w each and $580US each plus brackets. What's not to like..
