OK, but is that feature worth double the price of the Sols? If so, and it's that important to you, you can A) wait for the AI pheonix to come out at an MSRP of $499, or you can buy the wireless module for the Sols for $49. Both options allow full wireless control through your computer. Actually, through any computer that is hooked up to the internet. IMO, this is a novelty. How often do you need to adjust the spectrum of your light? Would the AI controller suffice to do this? To me it will. There is also the option of running the AI's through any of the big 3 controllers (not sure if you have one). As for the lightning... novelty as well, although I am super excited to see the lightning on my tank.

This is of course just my opinion... but I think that the Sol is the way to go. Tried, tested, dirt cheap (almost), and it has the changeable spectrum... AND LIGHTNING!!!!! HAHAHA!

I did a fair amount of research on this topic before I chose the Sols... like I said before, I don't get the Radion Hype. Maybe there's something that I don't see...?
