I haven't seen either of them in person, and I was wanting to get the opinion of those who have.

Also what is your favorite Bta?

I don't have an exact answer for you, but I have my CSB under four Kessil A360x in a 60 gallon low tank (48" x 24" x 12" tall) reaching 100% intensity. Something I've noticed (and others as have reported it as well) is that Kessils tend to shift most high end BTAs to a more yellow color (ChSBs and CSBs in particular), but I'm not sure what they'll do to a Nexus Burst. I don't think you can give BTAs too much light (at least from typical lights on an appropriately sized tank). If you give it a lot, they may go lower in the tank.

I have multiple of both at work and at home. I personally prefer the Chicago. I think that the Colorado is brighter, but the Chicago can shift phases across a wider range of colors.
