Thanks.
Same as the reason a Mercedes cost more than a Yugo.

The ATI is a Cast Aluminum housing with Vossloh Schwabb ballasts and Miro Silver reflectors.

Tek and Nova use Workhorse ballasts, Nova has polished aluminum reflectors and as far as I know a plastic housing. Tek doesn't have active cooling but decent reflector. Nova has decebr cooling but blahh reflectors.
