Default CF light - allglass or CL aqualight?

I am trying to decide between these two Power Compacts, the All-Glass which
is 2x55w 9325 color and the CoralLife Aqualight which is 2x65, combination
10000 actinic and 6700 in one bulb. This is for a 55gal 48" tank. I have
some plants doing well under 40w but am planning to get more plants and
would like them to do well.

Can anyone advise me please? Does anyone have the CoralLife 50/50 bulbs? I
figure that gives me 65w of "plant light" and 65w of "viewing light". The
AG is a poor CRI, I don't know about the CL.

Also, would I be better to get one 48" fixture, or two 24"? Any opinions on
this?

thank you
