HoogaHealth PRO1500 vs Vital Elite
The Vital Elite is the cheaper of the two at $999, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Vital Elite covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

HoogaHealth PRO1500
The no-frills choice. You are paying for photons rather than spectrum breadth, which is a defensible trade if 660 and 850 are all you want.
Vital Elite
The weakest evidence quality of the panels we track. A big number with no distance attached and an unnamed testing lab is a claim, not a measurement.
