Swapping from Ecotech to Maxspect/Kessil. Thoughts?

[Swell]

Upgrading my 60cube to a 120 peninsula! I currently have a Radion gen3 pro and gen4 pro w/diffusers, but I am heavily considering giving the Maxspect 200W a shot since it is 48"!
Has anybody else on here moved from Radions to the RazorX or the new AP9X?
Cost per coverage, the RazorX seems like the top choice! Of course I can just use my (2) radions otherwise. I will have a 12" canopy for this tank.

I also considered just mounting my current radions to the DX18 T5 hybrid.. SO MANY CHOICES!

My biggest concern, I think, is spread.

Would you be willing to elaborate? AI seems to have the connectivity strengths, Radion is well, expensive and getting caught up with the tech, but AI seems to have strong lights, but lacks connectivity.

Educate me!

Sure thing. First and foremost kessils shimmer is next to none. IMO as close to natural shimmer as you can get. And the dense matrix led chip blends the colors in a way you can pick them out in the tank with light panels or led pucks. Another thing i like is the fact that you're not given slider bars or have to guess on spectrum. Just turn the knob to add how much white you want and boom, done. No matter what setting you choose its optimized for corals. Plus the kessils are small compared to the boxy look of ai's or radions.
