Thunderbolt Raid Pegasus R6 vs Areca arc-8050

[ChadAndreo]

I am looking to upgrade my hard drive solution to improve my video editing workflow. I am currently using a Firewire raid system and I am starting to reach the capacity and performance capabilities of my setup.
After doing some research on thunderbolt raids, I have narrowed it down to either the Pegasus R6 12TB system or the Areca arc-8050.

I am looking for anyone feedback or suggestions from anyone with experience with both setups. I have found a ton of reviews and feedback on the Pegasus system, but not much on the Areca.

Areca is rock solid- used a lot in high-end web hosting etc systems. They are more known for internal cards than for systems like you are looking at, but you should get solid product.
Looks like Areca is bit faster, based on reviews. If Areca external box is as good as all their cards than I would go for Areca.

Here is review for Areca:
