Radion XR30w Gen3 vs Radion XR30w Pro Gen3

I'm starting up a 180 gallon mixed reef 72x24x24 and I need to know which LED to buy. I think I've settled on radions because I really like how they can be paired with my two mp40's, but what I don't know is whether or not I should get the XR30w or the XR30w Pro. Suggestions?

For a standard 6x2x2' 180G tank, you'd have more than enough light with three (3) XR30wG3 fixtures. However, if you'd like the additional output for an SPS-filled reef, I'd recommend the G3 Pros.

Either way, be sure to update us with some pics once you get the tank lit!
