So basically which ever would be cheaper then?
Basically.
I think they have a slightly different color look tonthem. Similar power.
The RB may be slightly more customizable as far as color.

SB Reef’s is definitely cheaper. I just bought 2 18” units and a 30”unit. Lights my 210 nicely. Only thing I didn’t like was shipping took longer than I expected. I’m not sure if they were drop shipped from China or not. I like that the leds are evenly spread out so there isn’t a disco ball effect like I see with some of the lights that have the leds concentrated like in kessil type lights. I’ve never seen a Reefbreeders light in use though so I can’t say which is better.

I'm not very familiar with the SBReef fixtures. But I've used RB Photons on 2 different tanks and EverGrow fixtures (the manufacturer for the Photon) before that. The build quality and materials used were.are top notch IMHO.

The other point that I find important is that Reef Breeders has a sponsor forum here at R2R and are more than happy to share info, answer questions and deal with customer service right out in front of everybody. And I haven't needed much from Reef Breeders in terms of help, but Logan has always been 1st class with his service.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Support, features (channels and stuff), cost and coverage are what I would focus on. I think that you will find them both pretty much equal in performance with slight differences, but not one over another.
