AI Vega Color or Kessil A360W?

[Gil03]

Thought i'd get some opinions on the matter, I have an AI vega color on my reef that i've been running for over two years that I'm thinking about swapping out for another LED fixture. As most know 2 years in the LED world is somewhat old with the way the innovation is going in the hobby particularly with LED's. One of the units that I'm interested in is the Kessil A360w, while I know it doesn't have as much controllability as the AI's I have heard really good things about them and I do see them being used a lot in LFS. WOuld I be stepping down in quality of light? I never really saw that growth I wanted from my AI's. Anyone have any input they could share?

I tried the Kessil 360N/W and though it's a great and beautiful light - I found it had nothing on the Hydra 26HD(same price)/52HD.

Check this link out - you can pick the Kessil 360W/N from the list and also the Hydra Hd26(or52) and compare it's par/spread, etc. (Note: use the slider left to right)

Good luck
