Lighting - should I? Should I not?

I’m sure this has been asked many times.
Please excuse my laziness of not deep searching for previous similar threads

I currently have 2 xr30g4 pro’s and 4 T5HO on a dimmable coralife fixture.
I’ve been looking into the xr30g6 pro’s to replace my G4’s.

Would you say it’s worth the cost?
Is it a visible difference?
My G4’s still work fine. But I am always looking to improve if it’s worth it.

Worthwhile is hard to measure, but the difference is night and day.

Two people I know with G6 says there is a difference, but how much difference has never been detailed,

This is what I would really like to know.

Another thing I would need to know before I buy is if it fits in the aquatic life fixture, like how the xr30 G4’s do.

I did it. Got myself a pair of xr30 G6 pros.
Tbh not a huge difference.
All my corals do seem to be very happy after a couple weeks.
I keep them at 50% max and using AB+ with lunar cycle enabled.
They fit perfectly fine on my aquaticlife T5 hybrid fixture.
In time I think I will see better growth in the crevices. I can tell there is more spread. Although I do not use a diffuser, I’m thinking maybe I should.
