Gen 1 radions vs hydra 52s non HD

240special · 11/16/2018, 03:19 PM

I have 4 gen 1 radions and 3 hydra 52s. Just bought a 6x2x2. Which lights would you use and why?

I also have an apex and an AWM for the hydras.

TIA

Are the Hydras HD or non HD?

I would go with the AI based on their age. The Gen 1 radion (introduced in 2011) has been upgraded 3 times since it was introduced. The AI (introduced in 2014) has what I feel is a better chip set. This was AI's answer to the Radion Gen 2 prior to the two companies merger. It would be nice however if you could pick up a 4th Hydra 52 on the market as they are often for sale at great prices.

What's a good price in your opinion?
