Kessil 350 or AI Sol?

Betwen those two I would run AI Sol's, the kessil is dimmable but I believe it is only done manually with a knob on the unit, where the AI's can be fully programmed for a complete light cycle. Most people that I have talked with that tried kessil 150 on larger tanks were less than impressed, I have seen several small tanks (20-29g) doing well with them. Kessil 350's are unproven but look to have more potential than their baby brother. I will be honest and tell you that the AI's lack a bit in the red end of the spectrum, so some have either added a stunner strip or t5 bulb to supplement, this is being addressed with the new AI Vega that is about to be released. If you can up your budget the Ecotech Radions are very impressive in spread, intensity and spectrum, but you definitly pay for it.
I run AI's on my tank and though I now some of my reds arent as pronounced as they could be, overall I am very happy, when they release the upgrade to the Vega's I might look into that but that is just cause I like new things.
