LED lighting question

My husband and I have been running a 210 gallon FOWLR tank with reef safe fish for about 8 months now. We also have a smaller tank that is a Reef tank with High Output T5's on it so this is the only lighting we are really all that familiar with. Currently the 210 gallon tank is running the compact florescent that came with the tank when we bought it, but recently we have been weighing our options on what it would look like price wise to switch over to LED so that we could have coral in our large tank as well. Here is what I am looking at: four 36" TrueLumen Pro LED Strip Light, 12000K Diamond White and two 36" TrueLumen Pro LED Strip Light, Deepwater Actinic Blue 453nm. So basically I would be running six total 36inch LED strips. I was told by the Sales Rep at Current USA that this would be plenty light for corals for my tank. Is this true? For some reason it just doesn't seem like enough to me. My tank is 27 inches deep. I attached a picture of the tank with just the compact fluorescent on it. I would like to get some reefers opinions my lighting dilemma if possible! :)

Here are the Current USA TrueLumens I am looking at: http://www.current-usa.com/lighting/truelumen-pro-led-striplights

Thanks so much!
I would love any recommendations or suggestions that anyone could offer me about this.
