ProSport vs Radian

Has anyone used a FF Radian and a ProSport? How do they compare? I'm considering replacing our FF Radian XTSL with a ProSport because I hate installing the Radian FF and tightening the harness FF is so difficult. Is the install on the ProSport any better/easier? Is the harness adjuster smoother than the RN?

We used our Avenue FF while on vacation recently and it was so easy to adjust, so now I'm frustrated every time I use the Radian! DS is 3y10m, 35ish lbs and about 40" so he'll outgrow the Avenue pretty soon and I want to have a plan for when that happens.

We have both. I love the Prosport.

The FF Radian was used by my tall 3.5-year-old (32 lbs. and 43") until yesterday (the straps looking like they were below his shoulders since the headrest always slips down; I'd had enough). I never loosened the harness straps b/c that was too difficult. I'd actually look forward to summer since I knew he'd be in a t-shirt each day so the straps would always stay tight and perfect. Winter, even a thin fleece, was difficult. I was able to do it, but whew!

The Prosport, on the other hand, is easy to install with seatbelt, and it'll fit my child a lot longer. And, the straps are very easy to use.

He uses a Securekid in our van now. Prosport in the car.

Does the headrest on the ProSport push his head forward at all? We ordered a SecureKid and I returned it because it was uncomfortable for him.
