Hue+ or Node PRO?

Ey

I'm looking into some RGBifying in my case.

It's currently between the NZXT Hue+ and the Corsair Lightning node PRO. I am kinda sold on the fact that the node is sata powered instead of molex (Looking at you, hue+) but other than that I'm sorta open to any input. I know the Hue+ is the tried and true champion, but how does the newer node pro stack up?

Thx for the suggestion, but it wasn't the price that concerned me, rather the feature set :)

yeah, this may give you more features, it has an open source library that you could even write your own code for.

Again, I was asking about input on the differences between the Hue+ and Node Pro, I didn't come here to start a whole different project just to get some lights in my case. Also, the DIY solution doesn't have that warranty if it fails or does something, which to me is more important than being able to code some stuff into a non-elegant DIY solution just to save a few bucks.

okay, i was just providing the only input i have, as I have no experience with either of your products. look at reviews.
