Does the sol have a sunset sunrise option? If I do go with the sol do I need a whole myher controller separate?
You'll have to look into how a single sol would do on a tank that size, if you need 2 sols for then it's kind of a no brainer vote for the Radion. The AI will do dimming for sunrise and sunset, the radions will probably be able to shoot a little more red in at these times for a little effect. The sols will need an external controller, either the simple one made by AI which will likely do everything you want or you can use an aquarium controller like profilux which can control the rest of your tank to.

If you can use a single sol that extra $400 will make a good chunk on a starter profilux kit.
