I'm narrowing down options & I think I'm down to these 4. I've currently got 4 T5 bulbs over my tank & I'm looking for an LED fixture(s) to pair with them.
Any personal experience or useful info I should consider in my selection?
My ideal light would be sub $700 & have 10V control (for Reef-Pi compatibility), but I haven't found that anywhere. Please point me in that direction if you know of something! In the meantime, here are my compromise choices.

Ap700-$600
Pros- Fairly affordable, solid brand, good reviews.
Cons- App control (I'd prefer 10V control), discontinued, concentrated cone of light.

2x A360x-$1080 (with mounting arms)
Pros- Easily adjusted/reconfigured for other setups, 10v control, solid brand.
Cons- Unreasonably expensive for what they are, concentrated cone of light.

Photon 48-V2-$700
Pros- Spread out lighting profile, multiple mounting options included.
Cons- Not as "name brand" as Kessil, no 10V control.

Maxspect Razor 200W-$600
Pros- Fairly affordable, good light spread.
Cons- Not as "name brand" as Kessil, no 10V control.

Edit: I've also started looking into Radion XR15 G5s, which would be about the same as Kessil, but minus the 10V control & minus the need for arm mounts due to the shape.
