Why do these tests state otherwise?

Myself I will take nicer colour spectrum for a bit less par but each to there own. Have you checked out the thread on RC where people were complaining about the poor AI colour spectrum?

I agree that after playing around with LED colors the red and green are key to reduce the need to run the whites as high which drown out color. But I just don't see the value of paying twice as much for $50 worth of parts. It does however come down to what you have already for controllers and what you're willing to do or sacrifice. For straight out of the box the Radion has value for sure but each person will have to decide if that's the case for them personally.

I ended up getting a really good deal on mine so the Radions were a no brainer for me

Ive been looking up the AI Vega and can't seem to find any hard specs on it just internet 'spec'ulation. This is worse than cell phones.

I've fell for future upgrades before, the upgrade costs 10% less than a completely new product! My profilux 2 needs $500 in upgrades and still can't run half the new stuff as only the 3 can

They had it all set to be released last fall but its seems after the Radion came out it was held back. I bet AI now got something to equal or better the Radion
