Wow, the size difference is pretty substantial.If it's the LEC system from SS its because of the reflector. That and Hortilux are the only single 315's I know of that do vert bulb for an even spread on single bulb reflectors (sure there are others). Now how much of a difference does this make? Ehhh can't say since the only horizontal 315's I have are 630 dual bulbs. Have been running the hort's for a while tho and they are great as far as throw and even spread with 3 over a 4x8 for coverage.
As far as size comparison on them. SS on the left. Horti on the right.

Talking with some sales reps i see where some of the money has gone. Plus seeing a real life side by side of the reflector makes an impression as well (thanksThe quality of the driver and reflective material in the Sun System is without a doubt the highest.
It won't produce twice as much as the unit half its price, though.

cemchris). One more question before i feel like a pest. Is there anything being lost with a remote reflector and ballast vs the integrated versions that most cmh seem to be built as? One of the reps spoke of possible signal interference but didnt think it would be noticeable.
Damn, all of this just to spend more money lol. I should have kept my mouth shut and stayed happy in my ignorance. Thanks all for the info.With sun system the remote reflector is chinese built with 85% reflective hammered aluminum. The top of the line all in one has 2 different german 95% reflective surfaces specially engineered for the phillips bulb. And is made in Washington state.
good info
still need to deiced if I'm going to try 1 or 2 out.......
I have to say my (2) Sun Systems Magnum XXXL6 reflectors have served me well for 12 years of steady Use! The only thing I have noticed is the inner reflecting panels are finnaly starring to loss there shine probably due to cleaning them between every grow.
But definitely still a solid as day 1.
Same I have like 20 magnum xxxl's 8iners. They are workhorses for sure. Now getting a new frame for glass at this point...that's a diff story.
I still see blockbuster glass frames out there but they are like $80 or $90. I would replace the reflector at that price.
