What sells it / What holds it back

✓ Pros

✓ Reef-LED benchmark — every other fixture gets compared to Radion's spectrum

✓ Resale value: 4-year-old XR30s still fetch 60%+ of new on reef forums

✓ EcoSmart Live cloud schedules + works with Apex Fusion via IFTTT

✓ Modular: chain multiple fixtures on one ReefLink, easy to expand

✗ Cons

✗ Premium price — XR30 G6 Pro ~$1,100 vs AI Hydra 32 HD ~$700

✗ RMS / HMS mounting kits sold separately ($80-150 extra)

✗ iOS app feels dated; web EcoSmart Live is the better experience

✗ Active fan — audible at 100% (quieter G6 helps)
