I currently have two vega's and 2 radions (without the tir lenses) on my 225 dt and a solid on the frag section of my sump.
The vega's are great lights and are in the same category as the radions but I do see that the radions have a little better spread and a slight less 'disco ball' Looks effect as for growth and appearance I would say that they are equal. Now as for Control they both sick lol. The new "wireless" controller needs to be plugged in to work and isn't exactly easy to setup. The director seems promising. The radion needs to be connected via USB and that's a pain and the programming also needs some work to figure out. The sols are a solid unit but lack the full spectrum the other 2 have IMHO.

I would go with the ai units and steer clear of the radions seeing how many units get returned and the units breaking down from stuck or burnt out fans and power failures and just plain stop working. And I'm not against ecotech as I love my mp40s

I have had AI sols for almost a year now and I love them. I have had to deal with AI on several occasions and they all have been extremely pleasant. Customer service and product quality is the number one thing on my list and after hearing about horror story after another horror story about the radions I will not even bother with them, at least not the first gen. If you want, take a look at my build and see what you think.

Radions are such a PIA. I've dealt with seven units. Four had issues that required warranty. Pretty bad average, IMO.
