The Vega is to be released anytime now. I've heard this for 6 months

Price is about another 100 bucks, times 6 plus taxes, made it out of my price range. I also saw the disco promo video and thought that was the dumbest thing ever, and completely swayed me into not waiting.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my choice of unit, most of my issues are LED generic, so the Vega wouldn't have resolved most of them.

I'm not sure you'd have any issues setting up a new system, really nothing to compare it to. For me, removing the MH and adding the LED I could immediately see the difference.
The elos looks like a nice unit, I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

I added a 4' fiji purple T5 to see if it would fill in some of what's missing. It hasn't really, might need a bigger one.

Have you tried supplementing with radiums?

Thought about it, but figured they might bleach my corals...
