I never said I think this thing blows. I just don't think the hype and price is justified.

For YOU.

And others dont think the hype and price of YOUR Iphone is justified either.

Ok but iPhone is basically the same price as most phones out there. And the reason it may be more expensive than some phones isn't over something silly like a strobing led light.

Switching to these led lights would cost me 4400 dollars more than having halides. There is no way that lightning and 3 colors of LEDs could be worth that much to anyone

Lol, off contract, most of the other smartphones offered by telus (whos website I JUST looked at), are 100-200 dollars cheaper than Iphones, at minimum.


"Worth that much to anyone"... You cant say that there is no way.... there is... its called OPINIONs man. Yours is different than another guy... that IS the difference... those features ARE worth that much to some people.

Do you have any other hobbies that are uncommon? Do you wear extravagant clothing brands? Some people think thats nuts... others no. 'To each their own'...

If people didn't enjoy the 'personal value' of the radion features... the fixture would already be a flunk lol.

I think the only reason people are buying this light is for the same reason some people buy a Rolex (on a smaller scale)

You know some people will be as stuck believing that about you advocating the Iphone as you are about the radion, right?

"I... think..." he said. Fighting a war with unpredictable human tastes/values/emotions/desires, there is no win. Your just as right as the next guy.

If LED's didnt grow corals... everyone with LEDs over their tanks (who have had them for more than a month) would have nice bleach white tanks. (or brown, red, green, from only cyano/algae, lol).

You wouldnt see 'growth pics' or 'colouring up' pics from people with LEDs if they didnt work.

Cheers,

Chris
