Reeflink or WXM for controling lights & powerheads?

I'm setting up two xr15w pros to my tank and I'm looking at either using the radion reeflink or the apex wxm to control them. I already have an mp10 in my tank and a full apex system. What would ya'll recommendations be between using the two systems?
Is one easier to use than the other and does one provide more features than the other?

I just hooked up my WXM a couple of nights ago, but I'm just running my Vortechs with it. I would do the WXM for the sole reason that you can use Fusion to run everything and you can see all your stuff on one APP instead of 2.

I have both. I think I like the WXM better, but the Reeflink has some features and modes not available on the WXM that I like to use so I'm using that now on my DT with the WXM on my frag tank.

I prefer the WXM to control my Radions and MP40's. The reason I lean towards the WXM is for the seasonal table. My lights adjust throughout the year. I noticed it caused spawning events in my tank. I guess it is more natural for the fish and coral. I don't know how much longer Ecotech will support the WXM though. I have a Ecotech M1 Vectra which I would like to use in conjunction with my auto feeder, but it is not yet compatible with the WXM.

Thanks. I was leaning towards the wxm before starting this post & it seems that might be the better option
