question about "nova-extreme" brand lighting

hello all
i have a 60 gallon planted freshwater tank that i set up a few months ago. my plants are starting to die and i'm pretty sure it's because i was using the single strip coralife light that came with the tank.

on the recommendation of the staff at Big Al's (who generally give great advice) i picked up this Nova-Extreme double strip light.

anyways, i get it home and i have found that the built in fan on it is noticeably audible. this is something that i'm willing to tolerate if it will help my plants out so my question is:
does anyone have experience with this brand, or even better, this specific light?
and if so is it worth the extra background noise? (and not to mention the $170 i paid for it?)

thanks

just in case anyone in the future is interested in this topic i exchanged it for a $300 coralife one and the fans on it are a million times quieter.
