New Red Sea Reefer XXL Deluxe Lighting

[rainbowreefer]

What's everyone's thoughts on the lighting that come with the RSR XXL and peninsula tanks? (750 XXL and 650 XXL peninsula comes with 4 AI Hyrda 26 HDs.)
BRS recommends the hyrdra 26 HDs for an 18" x 18" spread. But these tanks are 24-25" tall and wide. The deluxe's mounting system would put the lights at 7" above the tank.
I asked Red Sea why they wouldn't opt for the 52s on that wide of a tank and they said the 26s are more than plenty.
So I thought I'd bring the question here for opinions.
Will the lights that come in the deluxe RSR XXL and peninsula tank be sufficient for a great SPS tank with minimal shading? Or am I better off going with something else for a lighting solution?

I have the 2 Hydra 26 HD's 12 inch of the water with my tank dimensions 48 l x 18 w x 21 deep with a good spread. I had to back off the intensity and I am at 60k now.

My local reef shop has a 2012 Red Sea S-650 and it now has the 4 26hd upgrade.
The spread looks perfect but they did have to change the tank from a full blown SPS reef to a mixed reef.

My local LFS has the 4th 26, added 2 radion pros, and 2-2bulb t5 added to theirs

In my research I found that 26HD's to run LED drivers harder so they push more watts per LED than the 52's. If it were me I'd run multiple 26's over 52's
