In this work in progress we calculate the natural range of the radion mass in stabilized Randall-Sundrum models. The Goldberger-Wise and Casimir energy stabilization mechanisms are considered together with deviation of the IR brane tension from its tuned value in the unstabilized RS model. We find that including the IR brane tension deviation results in a parametric enhancement of the radion mass compared to previous results. In fact, the radion mass could even be in the region of the preferred standard model Higgs mass. In addition, we find that the Casimir energy usually plays sub-leading role in the stabilization.
