Vital Elite vs Vellgus Pro
The Pro is the cheaper of the two at $849, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Vital Elite packs more emitters (210 against 120), which usually means a shorter session for the same dose. The Pro covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

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.
Pro
Specs captured from an archived snapshot because Vellgus blocks automated access, so verify the price before publishing. The irradiance figure is unusable as published.
