AI Phoenix, worth the wait?

I want to upgrade to LEDs but I'm not sure if it's worth the wait for the new line of AI "Phoenix" or just get the Sol blues instead?

It'll be going on a 210g full reef.

only if you like the thinner look.
AI says the Sol is still the more powerful unit.

I remember reading that the new ones could be placed length-wise as opposed to the Sol having to be across the tank, making this the new one slightly more powerful. So basically if the SOL are more powerful according to AI, the extra money is for them being slimmer and having an integrated wireless?

I found this article on reef builders which the title reads "brighter", that's what made me think of maybe waiting.


Thanks!

there will be a new lengthwise mount for the Sol, too.

Just use 1 rail and you can mount them lengthwise; that's what i did and they work great.

What size tank do you have them on? Could you post a pic?

Thanks!
