Ok so right now on my 75gal I have a Marineland Singlebright Led system and I do not like the way it looks. My LFS has offered me some in store credit for the single bright and would give me a Deep Blue Professional T5 HO Quad fixture for a good price. Now my main concern is that I have never heard of this company for one and for two would it be way too much light for some SA Cichlids? He does have a ZooMed Dual lamp fixture that would be cheaper but it appears the way it clamps to the tank would not allow the use of glass canopies. Any ideas on what I should do?
Would this be too much light for SA Cichlids?

Not to much for the fish but would be too much for the tank it self.
Your going to have algea problems with that much light.
I would love to find 2 36" dual T8 fixtures for my 125g SA Cichlid Tank.
I think im going to have to settle for two dual bulb T5NO fixtures instead.
If i were you, i would look into a 48" dual bulb T5NO fixture.

I have the zoomed dual t5ho fixture and don't use the brackets. It works just fine sitting directly on the glass.
I run Deep Blue T5HO fixtures on many of my tanks. I do not have the quad though. The only problems I have heard of is that sometimes with the 48" t5ho fixtures, the acrylic lens does not slide out easily. I have not had this problem though. The quad runs two bulbs on each ballast with dual switches. You only have to run two bulbs.
