Radion XR15 G5 PRO vs. A.I. Prime 16HD Reef

Hi,
I’m starting a little nano, 43x43x40cm, where I will be keeping SPS mainly. Regarding lighting, would you go for Radion XR15 G5 Pro or A.I. Prime 16HD Reef? I’m not considering costs at this stage, only what would be best for the small tank. I’m thinking the Radion might be too strong or light up too much of the area around the tank?? What do you think?
Grateful for your input.

You don’t think the XR 15 will be too much for my small tank?
