I agree with @denel that the listed specs for Chinese equipment may not always be reliable. This can be for any numver of reasons from a lack of coordination between the technical and sales/pr staff to hiding the real capabilities (better or worse) from the real world. That being said, whatever the real specs, i am certain PAF is NOT going to pick a radar based on its brochures. It is likely fully aware of both the strengths and weaknesses of the system. It will pick them on 3 things, capabilities, cost, and subsystems/munition availability.
From the end of capabilities, ranges are likely similar (+/- 10-15km) but we dont know the other details if them like which has better ecm/eccm etc. My suspicion is that the chinese radar has more range by a bit but the other capabilities are likely in the favor of the Grifo by a bit. It will come down to cost and availability of the subsystems and munitions.
