Following this thread as I am looking for a LED fixture too right now, and I'm a Profilux 3EX owner.

I have a hard time justifying the price tag, especially in comparison with other fixtures... twice the price of the Radion G2, three times the price of an A350 etc... but given the great reviews of the Mitras so far, it is an interesting option. Particularly because of the high spread and PAR shown by Rodney on RC and the lack of spot lighting.

I have heard some concerns about electrical components not being isolated from the fan, like they are in the Radion. Also, some have complained about the location of the USB port.

The fans suck air in from the top (fresh air) and blow down and aross the board and out the sides, the unit is also advertised for non enclosed tanks so you will not have one single issue.

The USB port is for limited use, once programmed you do not have to use it again and once the unit is wireless enabled then other than for firmware you will never use it.

The price comes from all the plus points you mention for sure. spread etc etc

Hope that helps
