I don't think it would be a fair assessment. The Radion offers you a full colour spectrum. If you were to upgrade yor lights similar to that of the Radions how much would it cost you and would your controller work with the upgrade or would you have to get another one? To me, comparing the Radions to the SOLs is like comparing the European and Japanese cars (Radion) to that of the American made cars (SOL)...

Fair enough, not really looking for a debate. Maybe just a view of how I see it. I only used a few variables when I decided..

1. Neither will ever be run at 100 percent power ( I could be wrong) so I called this one even.

2. Neither one has a coverage benefit over the other, even.

3. I had no on hands experience with the controling systems.. But have read Radion is giving people more issues, maybe due to learning curve or system its self. But I didn't want to find out first hand the issues with Radion. Advantage AI

4. Price... AI

I'm happy with the two Sol I bought. Going any further in comparision wasn't really needed for my needs

aw cmon boys.....lets not let a thread that was about the programming of the radions degenerate into yet another "less filling", "tastes great" argument.....

Thanks Doug!

As Doug has suggested, this is going a bit off track from the original thread topic. This one is for programming Radions.

for bashing Radions with Sols, please start another thread.

Thanks :)

The Radion coverage is better than the AI -ADVANTAGE RADION

Radion has way better colour and controllability- AVANTAGE RADION

1 Radion is cheaper to buy(for me anyhow) than 2 AI's - ADVANTAGE RADION

Is it just a coincidence why now there is so many used AI's up for sale???

Isn't this thread about Radions?

It's about helping someone with programming Radions. Not touting the great wonders of Radions. Not mounting Radions on the end of a stick and beating Sols with them. Not about the wonderful spectral displays seen from space.

I get the whole theme of "mine is better than yours" stuff, just start a new thread plz :)
