So this is my current tank and I plan on doing mostly SPS. But I can’t decide on going with two Radion XR15 G6 or one Radion XR30 G6. Or even crazier, two Radion XR30 G6 and run them at a lower power… let me know what you think I want to order something this weekend.
 
I mean if $ isn’t the issue, I think two radion 30s would work perfect and give you plenty of lighting options for various corals
 
If you have the budget for $2500, there are far better options IMO and I say that as someone who likes Radions and had success with them

ATI Straton is a better light for around the same cost

Nicrew Gen 2 would work and be 1/4 the cost. 2 of the 150s is plenty for that tank. I’d save the $2000 personally and buy other stuff like the Tunze Orca instead
