This is a tough one, both are great lights. I have XR15's on my tank and I am very happy, but have friends with the AI Hydra 26's that are really nice. Hydra's are a little cheaper which is a bonus for certain.

I would give a slight edge to the X15 but either way you need more than 2.

What corals do you plan on keeping?
If softies and zoos, you may be able to get away with two. If SPS, I'd recommend a minimum of 3. But either lights are amazing. Depends completely what your budget is and what features you like more. Which is also kind of hard since they both are similar in features. However, the Hydra 26HD does include the wifi inside the fixture, so you can easily control them from your phone. Where as the Radion XR15, you will need to use the Reef link (Extra $$) to be able to control the light from your phone
