Which LED Stunner for my 28g Nano

I currently have a 28g nano Intermediate (27w LED). My goal is to add more "pop" (I hate using that word) and really bring my corals out while the main lights are on. The LED lights look good, but with it just being white LED's, it gives my corals a washed out look compared to my lighting system on my main tank, which is T-5's with two Reefbrite LED strips (Blue).

I have installed 4 of the TruLumen moonlights linked below:

They look great when the main lights go off, but I am looking for something strong enough to bring out the corals when the main lights are on...something that compliments my white LED's. From my research, I have found the following two that I am considering buying. Anybody have any expereience with them?

Ecoxotic:

TruLumen

Does anybody have any experience with these? It looks like the Ecoxotic has my wattage, but it would be a challenge to fit it (12.5") into my hood, where the TruLumen (10.5") would fit perfectly. Would either of these make a difference when my main LED's are on? Any reccomendations other than these two?

Thanks!

Check out Reefkoi.com. He has some lights that should fit your tank. If you do go with his, he has a dimmer for them though it isn't listed on the site. His comes with the transformer so there isn't anything else to buy unless you want the dimmer. I was thinking of getting a couple for my 12gal nano.
 
The trulumen strips are glorified night lights. Im returning mine. Terrible

Checkout my led builds in my signature. I have done a few retro fits for those tanks. I can build you something if you want.
