Looking for Kessil a150w and beginner corals

I just started learning about these Kessil LEDs recently. The A150 is rated at 32W and the A350 is rated at 90W. Besides the price and the physical sizes, the difference between A150 and A350 is the capability to adjust the color and brightness; The A350 can, the A150 CAN'T. The standard or the narrow version of the kessils use 60 degree optical lenses and the W version uses 120 degree optical lenses.
I guess, for a pico tank, the kessil 150 might also be over kill, with or without the W (of course unless you hang it far, really far away from the pico or use it like a ceiling light
). The A350 might work as you can dim it down to a very low level. A350W might work also but you might need to lower the light real close to water surface to reduce the light spread and turn it down all the way.
The advantage of the 350 version is that if later on you decide to go with a bigger tank, you won't have to be worry about buying another light......
I guess both Dylan and Chris are right but you make the call
