10K or 16K Maxspect LED lights, which would you buy?

Get a better light. I have the razor 16k 160w and have one of the malfunctioning units that starting to melt. I'm getting pretty ticked off at their customer service and warranty handling. I'm now waiting on more than a week for parts to fix this and have very little correspondence from both the LFS I bought it from and maxspect. Been waiting now over a week for parts which were supposed to take a day to receive. I understand mail can be a bit slow, but why tell a customer it will take a day and now its 8 days later and I've still had no more updates from anyone.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm pretty happy with my 16k. I would try to get something at a color you like running relatively equal white/blue settings. If you adjust the blue down too much on the 16k it gets a little purple (from the red spectrum in the warm whites).

Im actually loving my maxspect , I went with the 16k fixture as I prefer a more blue look in my tank (no sps) but if I want to I can turn the white up and the blue down and it looks Just like my t5 fixtures on my other tank. So I think you could do a 16k and still be happy. Also as for the guy with the broken light, just because one broke does not mean its a crap light. Have been running mine for a few months now without any issue. Originally I was going with either the radion or the maxspect razor , went with the razor mostly because it came with mounting harware wich is nice , also there is a lfs here the owner was using 1 radion and 1 razor on the same tank and I prefered the look of the razor and the fixture is alot better looking IMO.

I love my razor and would reccomend it to anybody. I dont understand people saying things about it being to blue or whatever since it is adjustable and you can make it whatever shade you want. If its to blue, turn up the white or down the blue. Pretty straight forward. Anywayz i have the 16,000 and i love it.

I had it for a few weeks, but sold it. The disco effect made me (as many others) crazy. Otherwise light is not bad. I am planing to get Hydra now, since they have frosted glass to reduce disco effect. 16K is way to go

This thread is just what I was looking for, im setting up my first reef tank and have decided to go with the 300W R420R Razor LED 43.5 inch. Will this be the only light I will need? I wont have any hard corals just easy stuff to start with.
