Coralife's new Aqualight LED, available now at major retailers

Coralife has entered the high-end LED lighting market in grand fashion ... perhaps too grand? $2,500 puts their fixture at the upper echelon of LED lights; Put in context, the Aqualight LED costs more than:

3 Ecotech Marine Radions or
3 (upcoming) Aqua Illumination Vegas or
a Maxspect Mazarra P-Series MZ-P01 Complete LED System with 4 modules, frame, and controller or
4 Blue Moon Aquatics P30 with Saturn Ring attachement
but a bit less than the Vertex Illumina 48" 260 LED

Is it worth the price? We'll let you decide.
