Does anyone have experience with this ballast ?

I picked mine up at ReefSpecialty (http://www.reefspecialty.com/Lighting-Metal-Halide-Ballasts/c14_26/p283/Coralvue-400-Watt-Dimmable-UL-approved-Electronic-Bal/product_info.html). I still need to get a kill-a-watt to see exactly what they're pulling. The dimming function is pretty decent. I'm running the Reeflux 20k's now at "normal" setting, but like the option to dim or overdrive if necessary.

Coralvue has taken some serious heat on reliability and support. It was a diffcult decision for me between this and an Icecap, but I went Coralvue due to their relation with Reeflux bulbs which I primarily run.
