Wattage is not a problem.
If money isnt a problem, the definitely go with a premade solution, it will most likely look better than anything you can build.
But if you dont have unlimited pocketbooks, it seems like you can half your prices in LED by going with DIY setup and not a manufactured product.
Are you planning on having lots of corals? If not, you dont need super bright lights, even just quite a few 1w LEDs will easily light the entire 3 feet down to the substrate, you might just not get good coral growth down there.
If you were going to have corals, then you need some high watt LEDs which is certainly doable.
