Radion light control - Apex Neptune or Reeflink?

We just purchased 2 Radion XR15wG3 Pro lights for our 75 gallon reef tank. There appear to be two solutions for controlling them; purchase the Reeflink or purchase the wireless expansion module for our Apex Neptune. The price seems to be about the same. Can anyone walk me through the pros and cons of each?

Thanks!
Laura

Or you can plug into them with a USB cable and control them with your laptop that way.

I'm going to be getting a Reeflink so I can also control my Vortech pumps as well.

Unfortunately, we don't have a laptop, and our Mac isn't on the same floor. We don't have Vortech pumps yet (they're on our wishlist!), but it looks like the Apex module works with those too.

I chose the WXM module. With Fusion, programming is easy.
