I don't have that exact model but I have the older razr 120w and I am happy with it. That is supposed to be an upgraded version so I can only imagine it's even better but thats my opinion. If you don't want to spend the money on radions I think maxspect is still a good option.

I've read good things about the previous models. I would assume this one didn't get worse. I ordered it and mine is arriving today. Debating whether it is worth paying $50 for the optional wifi controller.

I just got the 200W version of the Razor X to go over my 48" tank. Really impressed so far!

I loved my Razor over my 40b. Excellent LEDs in my opinion.

I have one I inherited second hand that is a few years old. I love it. Programming it is fairly simple and uses only a single dial. With a short press of the button I can change from programming mode to 100% white light and 0% blue light to take pictures, then back to normal programmed mode. Probably my favorite feature is how easy it is to do that with just a click and hold for a few moments.

It works great for what I'm using it for. I don't have many SPS and those I tried did not do well, but I don't blame the light for that.

I run mine typically with the peak light period being only 50%

I've had the 27" razor for maybe 2.5 years or so. It's been great. Love it!

For anyone with the old school models that might be interested in supplementing with t5's these work great. I have been running them a few months now and very happy.

I don't think it looks half bad either for a retrofit.
