Why no love for AI Prime?

I don't see a lot of information about this light. Mostly Kessils. Is the Kessil that much better? I'm considering AI Prime for my standard 10 gallon - softies and LPS only.

AI Primes are mid-level light IMO. However you can grow anything under them. I have 2 over my 30 gallon, and i'm happy with them. When i upgrade my tank size i will most likely upgrade the lights to kessil or hydras. For your size tank a AI prime will be perfect, you wouldnt even use the AI prime to its full power unless you were growing sps. For larger tanks the AI primes are a bit under powered.

I'm currently running cheap EVO lights so this will be a huge upgrade for me. I want to cover more of the spectrum. I'm glad to hear this will be more than I need for my current setup.
