See I have been hearing everyone is selling theirs to get the radions and they are not as good as the radions in power wise.

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

At almost 2 SOL and controller for the same as 1 Radion it was a no brainer for me. The Sol controller is easy to use, don't need a computer etc. and bottom line once either is set all the fancy gadgets are forgotten.

The fancy gadgets are only forgotten IF your product doesn't have them I love the programming and future potential of my fancy gadgets and they won't be forgotten.

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)...
