LED lighting

Personally I feel the SOL is the better value (more light / $ as previously stated) but I'd want to play with both to see if the extra colors improves the overall color to be worth it.

Aesthetics is a personal thing but I personally love the look of these units suspended over an open tank. Choosing based on looks I think the SOL is far better looking though. Classy industrial.

Really? To me it compares to taking your sleek new LED TV and mounting a baseboard heater to the top of it

Yeah I'm weird. I like how their heatsink fins look.

Forgot to add that when I saw the radion I totally saw the colors mixing on the sandbed. I found the SOL effect easier to look at than the radion one. I'm guessing multichip LED is where I will upgrade to however.

Weird, I didn't, and specifically look for that. However, it was Shelley's tank, and it's too full to actually see much sand
