Evergrow LED's vs Maxspect Razor 15000k

[serbusfish]

I want to replace my 4x T5 unit with LED's on my 4ft tank. I keep a mixed reef, I have mainly LPS and some softies but I want to keep some Acros along with other SPS (I currently have Monti's and Birdsnest growing very well). Due to budget and space I have narrowed my choices down to the Maxspect Razor 320w or an Evergrow unit. Maxspect have proven reliability and generally get good reviews, but I dont know a lot about Evergrow. Are they reliable? Do they offer good customer service? Their units come with 3 year warranty which is a good incentive, but why are they so cheap. For £414 I can get a unit to cover my 4ft easily, compared to £749 for the Maxspect. And more to the point, which would be better for the corals?

I can't speak for the maxspec but i have a reef breeders photon 48, same thing as the evergreen, and my tank is full of sps and they all do just fine. Had the light for about a year and a half so far with no issues.

serbusfish, OceanRevive's IT series, as well as ReefBreeders Photon series are made by EverGrow and you won't have to deal with people in China. I have fixtures sold by all 3. The EverGrow IT2080 fixtures have been over my 180g sps & lps tank since Dec 2012 (about when ReefBreeders started and before OceanRevive existed) and has run 24/7/365 completely without issue. I have OceanRevive fixtures over my 2 work tanks and ReefBreeder fixtures over my refugiums. They have all worked just fine.

Besides, both ReefBreeders and OceanRevive have sponsor forums here on RC so they are very easy to talk to and ask questions.

I know the Maxspect brand is well respected, but I've never seen the need to spend more for their name.

Ive decided to go with AI Hydra 26's instead

These were my first choice, however I didnt think I would be able to mount them because of my hang on skimmer, so decided on either the Evergrow or Maxspect. However I realised all I have to do is move my skimmer a little and the feet of the AI rails can sit on my aquarium.

So I am going to get 3x Hydra 26 EU editions and the AI Director controller. Does anyone have experience with these? I have heard the regular 26's arent as nice as the EU editions which have a more blue hue?
