Pay a little more for higher end equipment. You will save in the long run. If i was you i would choose b/w a 4x65w pc unit, 2x175w MH or 4x54w HO t5 (icecap or tekII reflectors, triad or icecap ballasts). It all depends on what your going to want to keep. Keep in mind, most new hobbists go sps after a while, so you might want to invest in the equipment to house sps and keep lps and softies till you get the hang of things.

just my 2 cents.

cheers,
