Well that's the thing. I have faith it's "probably good enough" but the issue is exactly what Funky_Fish14 said, "Everyone" seems to use the comparison to a 250w halide. Thing is if I was using 250w's, that would be an awesome verbal incentive to try it. But being that I use Radiums on 400w hqi, if I knew I'd be happy going from that to a "250w equivalent" then I could just as easily already be on 250w's. Don't get me wrong, I have zero doubt that these are excellent topnotch units, but given the price tag of, say, 3 or 4 of these over my existing tank, it would be disappointing to learn if, say for example, 6 months from now Ecotech announced an even brighter unit or a unit with more LED's (or whatever along those lines) specifically aimed at those with taller-than-average tanks, sort of like the difference between a Vertex 200 and a 260. So that's why I was wondering if anyone knew if they had any such plans.
