How are these testkits?

Seachem:
Multi test: marine basic
No2/No3
Ph/Alk

Redsea:
No3 pro
Alk

Redsea is more then double of seachem price. im already way over budget, would seachem be ok? Any reviews on seachem?
(Im from india so jus these 2 brands available)

I personally prefer Red Sea myself. The price may be higher but check the number of tests as well. At least when I looked, Red Sea was more expensive but you got more tests out of the kit. I use their Reef Foundation (Cal/Alk/Mag) and Algae Control (N03/P04).

I think the reef foundation is for Ca, Mg and Alk and algae control is for NO3 and PO4, thats all and they come with the name Pro. Yes same number of test.
