Infraredi Pro Max 2.0 vs Rouge Pro G4
The Pro Max 2.0 is the cheaper of the two at $959, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Pro G4 packs more emitters (288 against 210), which usually means a shorter session for the same dose. The Pro G4 covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

Pro Max 2.0
The gap between the 250 mW/cm2 headline and the 68 mW/cm2 somebody actually measured is the single most useful fact about this panel.
Pro G4
Rouge discloses more honestly than almost anyone, publishing both measurement methods with distances. Even so, an independent tester came in a third below their own spectrometer number.
