Best way to spend money on additional lighting?

[Reefin' Alaska]

Long story short, had a 300XL that split.

RS replaced and guy at LFS wanted a 3' tank, so RS sent me an entire G2 setup, ended up selling the new setup to him. Bought a 525XL G2+. Have 3 XR15's. Want to do sticks, but conflicted about which way to go with lighting as XR15's aren't enough.

Do you think adding 2 AI Blades would give me the PAR I need around 7-8" into the tank?

What other option should I consider? All new lighting? I feel like the Blade's are the best way to spend my money, but maybe not the best solution.. If that makes sense.
