I've used Hortilux for my 400w, and just ordered a 600w Hortilux as well. They have a good spectrum,
but they're a bit more pricey than your standard HPS. Is there a difference? I don't know, it would be
hard to tell. but the brand of HPS bulb you choose probably has less to do with your results than light
intensity (1000>600>400) and alot of other factors. There's nothing wrong with buying an HPS bulb
that costs $20 less than the rest of them.

The hortilux dual spectrum super enhnaced bulbs are probably the best in my opinion. They have both blue and red in the bulb using the right mix of colors to get best gvains from the plant. pricey though can be few hundred for 1000 watt bulbs under $200 for 600 watters

Do you mean the new Hortilux Super Blue 1000w bulbs that have a 600w HPS and 400w MH inside one bulb? Those look awesome. I
wish I had a 1000 watter to try one out. I've seen them as low as $130.

As far as the regular Hortilux Super HPS enhanced bulbs, they run around $85-95 depending on wattage.

I run 650 watts. 400w Hortilux MH Blue and 250w Hortilux Super HPS for veg, switch intensities for flower. These seem to have the best spectrums in my opinion.

I run the 400 and 600 and 1000 watt super hortilux bulbs with enahnced spectrums so yeah they do have them lol look better you ll find them. Its kind of like when people say they don't make 600 watt mh bulbs only conversion but thats not true either.

I think you're getting the bulbs mixed up.
Eye has Super HPS enhanced spectrum bulbs that come in all sizes, but they also have a new bulb
called Super Blue, which is a 400w MH and a 600w HPS inside of one bulb. As far as I know it only comes in 1000w.

If I only had one ballast I'd definately look into those dual arcs that FF mentioned, but I'm a giant proponent of mixing true hps&MH bulbs.. I started with Hortilux, but when I bought some cheap complete kits from Westburne Electric, they came with standard bulbs.. So I tried them out, and realized there wasn't any noticable difference whatsoever.. Now I wouldn't buy any lighting equipment from a hydro-shop..
