upgrade lights or powerheads?

[rburch203]

Im wanting to upgrade either my powerbeads or my lights and I can't decide which.. currently running jabeo and want to go to vortechs. and I have ocean revive t247 and I can't decide if I want radions or if I want kessils or if I want something else. I may be able to get the vortech and maybe a cheaper light like the kessil but I can't afford both vortech and radions.

If you were in this situation what would you go with?

posted here because the main reason for the drive to get all of these is for the synergy of running scotch products. and Im getting an apex hopefully so I want lights to be controlled by it and Im very impressed with the rations, just not the price.

I've been using Radions for about 4 years now and I am very happy with them.
I got in with gen1 fixtures and when I could afford it, I upgraded all 4 to gen 3, one at a time.

Sometimes it's just not in the budget to do all the improvements all at once, so going one step at a time is the easy way.

This is what I am doing. Radions and Vortechs pop up for sale on here all the time. You can get the stuff for 75% of retail and upgrade when needed. This is the best way to get high end equipment. This stuff is built like a tank and is perfectly good used. Usually it just needs some TLC and dusting.
