Kind of figured this would be a given but no way should the Maxpect Mazzara been one of the final two! I am a Radion user and a fan but will admit this kind of sounds bogus when the Vertex Illumina is not included in the competition???

Pretty sure I read somewhere that reviews were for paying reviewees...

If you read there are comments from them on why they chose who they chose. Doesn't really matter it was pretty funny. Fixtures were randomly paired up (nano stuff against normal stuff etc). It was just an elaborate ad for Ecotech who is a paying customer there.

is it just me or do I not see AI SOL white or blue in there just the nano? I think I remember markoD doing a side by side with the radion (I think it was marko) and the sol was much bright with much better spread.

They only chose stuff released brand new this year apparently. I'm sure they didn't want the Radion to have any competition from AI, Vertex or Orphek lol.

With all the politics between paid reviews, blogs, manufacturers... you name it... I'm 100% convinced that the most useful thing to us are each others personal experiences with all of thiss tuff.
