Why do you make this statement? There seem to be alot of people happy with the AI fixtures. Have you tried them both?

On the other side of the coin, by the same above standard, anyone owning AI would also be a biased fanboi.

Anyone I've talked to whom has owned and used both has stated the Radion is the better of the two...including unclesalty.

This whole "Coke" vs "Pepsi" argument is getting old, to the point of being pathetic...That's all this has become. Buy the fixture you can afford with the features you require, enough said.

AI has new units coming out...I'm surprised that they have taken this long. I saw them at MACNA and they were quite nice. Used the XM-L chips, nice software and everything.

I also really liked the look of the Maxspect. I know there's been good and bad reviews from purchasers...but the same could be said of the Radion.

I have both radion and ai at the moment and I can truly say I'd rather have 2 ai over 1 radion.

Agreed, but i'm waiting on the AI Phoenix/Vega to come out before I make any decisions on LED's. Should apparently be soon but the release keeps getting pushed.

And that's your personal choice...For me the AI doesn't offer any of the features I want (wireless, spectrums etc.), That's my choice and not a mistake as you previously elude to...given the choice again, with the currently available fixtures I would still choose the Radion over the AI product. As a matter of fact I just bought two more Radion fixtures.

Yes I have owned them both and I also own a par meter! Nothing wrong with the AI but the Radion is just a better all-round fixture with nicer spectrum and features.

I don't want to argue. But I've had the radion for over a week now. And all those "features" that it has seems like they were made for 12 year olds to think they're cool. I still think thunderstorms are pointless and stupid.

My main concern is to grow corals. Not having a disco in my fish tank
