I have not seen a SPS tank posted here with radions of any caliber to make me think otherwise.
Yes, the radion is a nice looking fixture, it has lots of geek appeal if you like that sort of thing, but I do not believe it is a better light. I believe it is a different light, more suited to a different audience. If I had a ton of spare cash lying around, maybe I'd consider them.

If you think the AI is better fixture than the Radion can I interest you in one of my bridges for sale? :lol: Another uneducated one who has not owned both fixtures!

What some are doing is buying the cheaper AI's then supplementing them with T5's to achieve proper colouring to match the Radions

I'm not exactly sure. Did you maybe have the end fixtures in the first pic turned down maybe to achieve the dark ends??
