I wasn't. I have personally had both bulbs and found that I like the radium far better then the Ushio. I found the Ushio to be much whiter then what the kelvin rating was on the bulb. For instance when I had my Ushio 20k it was much whiter then my now Radium 20k's. So I have my own experience with these two bulbs.
