The advantage the Radions have is better spread, built in control and the extra color/effects from red and green LEDs. However in terms of power one Radion is not far off from one sol. Minus red and green the Radion puts out about 94W max and the sol 72W max however the Radion has a higher white to blue ratio (closer to 1/1) than a sol blue (1/3) so unless you like a whiter look the actual usable wattage is pretty comparable. For better spread on the sols you can custom order them with all 70 degree optics and while they need an external controller if you have one already it might be better.

Also consider waiting for the AI Vega, no idea what's in store but the improvements may be worth the wait.
