Light upgrade?

I have a viparspectra 165 it gives me more than enough par but what i was wondering should i upgrade to radion xr30 g4 on up. Are the lights worth the price.

I know very little about your fixture but if it works why swap.
Honestly I am not a fan of the Radion lights.
The app stinks they are cheap plastic box. I think they are over priced.
Most led fixtures use out of the box leds so their is not a huge difference.
They are a ok fixture and certainly can keep coral.
Also looking at your tank allot of your corals prefer lower par levels.
My acans, chalices and blastos all do better under lower par.
Your tank looks like it is doing well.

I'm pushing for more sticks in this tank. But I'm not buying sticks from anyone with par levels passed 350 as i crank up my light it's easy for me to get par levels at over 200 on the bed which lps obviously won't like
 
Changing lights can have negative results.
Once they get acclimated to their light, they dont much like any change, looks very nice to me.
