The one thing that absolutely stumps me in this hobby, lighting....

I have attached a link to the lights I am looking at for my 275L Cube tank (72G) to replace the ones it came with. Can anybody tell me if these lights seem ok. I have softies and LPS in the tank, and will not be looking at SPS for awhile, and definitely not any of the trickier ones for a VERY long time haha.
