Comparison XR30 vs. XR30 Pro Gen 4

I've got a 110 rimless tank and I'm thinking about moving to one of these lights. Do I really need (and yes, I know 'need' is a relative term) the Pro version. 48x30x20 (lwh). I'm very focused on SPS.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Yes. The non pro is meant for fresh water tanks

Sorry, it's not meant for freshwater tanks.

Bump. Marine Depot has a sale on the non-pro gen4 so I'm trying to get some additional feedback.
