apologies accepted, and i will apoligize for comming across so brash.
Having tested both a 400 watt radium on a son agro and a 400 watt 10K ushio on a regualr M58 ballast, I can say that they do put out roughly the same par.. i think it was with in 3% of each other on 2 differen bulb of each type on two different sets of ballasts..don't ask why so many combanations.. goes back to the green eye thing  yes you are right.. power wise either blows away a 175 watt in real power, but as you said visualy the 175watt looks/appears brighter and does make for a more pleasing look when used in conjunction like Adam has done. I think his tank looks very nice that way also, but that is a personal statement. anyways. I guess this got started from my lack of making it clear that I was talking visualy and not real numbers, thanks for pointing that out and I will watch myself for that in the future.  ops: Steve
