The 70's were a step in the right direction but as the thread shows 135 degrees is a lot better. Remember, the AI units tested in the link had 70 and 40 degree optics and were still showing major hotspots. Even all 70's is tight unless its > 24" deep tank; case and point the new Tuna blue! They made 62 degree units for tanks greater than 24 inches deep and 140's for tanks < or = 24" inches. Who knows, maybe AI will suprise us and make wider optics available with the release!
radions will max out at 30"s while Ai's can go to around 40"s
