you'll be happy with making the switch to HID lighting... but the electric bill.. dont worry about it too much. i am also running a 400w (mh) w/200w of cfls. it is about as much as running your tv and dvd player all day. if you havent done so allready, replace your incandesent light bulbs throughout the house with cfl's and take as many other energy saving precautions as you can, and you will probably notice your bill go down, even with the addition of the hps.
