I use the older remote on my 8000 and 15000 Krakens. No issues and highly recommend using a remote.

Quick update: Matt indicated that the older remote would work better in my case (mix of old and new hydra lights). With the newer remotes, only the LTD mode (white light mode) will work since it's not fully compatible with the older hydras.
Also, I got 2 multi-core optic fiber cables from Ali (217 cores) for $22 a piece to test - I will report back after they have been delivered and I get a chance to test them.
