Any words on Hydra 26/52 HD updates?

Alright, so first off, I love my Hydra 26 lights over my tank. They are really nice lights (my opinion, but hey, I happen to believe in my opinion!

).

That said, I really think the control interface could use some updating. I would love to see finer control of the lights, maybe some nice presets as well...

I would love to do night mode for example, but even 1% is just way too bright... I have seen the light put out the levels I want when I add acclimation mode, but that dosent fix anything, it just proves the light can fiscally do the same dimness I want, I just cant program it...

So, has anyone been talking to AuquaIllumination lately and maybe heard about some future update plans?

Is the 26 enough light for a 56 column ? I have the same tank with a RB Photon 24 and I'm considering an upgrade .

I actually have 2 26's because I plan on upgrading soon and figured I would just keep adding more lights as needed... That said, I would actually argue that you could get away with just 1 26 for my tank. I run the lights about about 26% power at the peak of the day and it provides 200+ par to the bottom...
