I have a reefer 350… 48” wide.

currently, I’ve got (2) Hydra 32’s with plans to potentially add a third/fourth

I have an opportunity to purchase (2) GHL Mitras 6100’s for $190 CAD ($140 USD)

I’ve become interested in these mitras, however I always saw myself potentially upgrading to the LX7’s because of the wifi capability. However, these LX6’s can be upgraded to the LX7 LED clusters. What do you guys think? Am I crazy to make this switch?

It only seems to make the most sense if you're going with a GHL controller. What is the upgrade cost to the LX7 LED custer/WiFi? That could be a deal breaker right there.

Myself, I'd stick with the Hydras (adding one or two more) -or- upgrade to Radions or SKY (SKY would make the most sense with an Apex system). Or just go straight to the next level with the CoralCare Gen2.
