Quick Exhaust Fan Question

I have a 600w with an inclosed hood but no fan for exhausting the heat buildup.
I've been going back and forth between a 6' Can Fan with 270 cfm
or a 6' GrowBright fan with 424 cfm
The Can Fan costs $200 while the GrowBright fan costs $120:shock:

Now either you are just paying for the Can Fan name..or the GrowBright fan is a piece of shit. I can't decide which is trying to rip me off more.

Anyone have any experience with either of these fans and can maybe help me make a decision on which is the better value?

Got me a 4 incher combo off htgsupply.com and does excellent for my tent. I actually called them and they were very helpful, I told him the dimensions of my tent and I would of bought the 6" but he told me it wasn't necessary. I got an honest break and saved 50 bucks.

cant say ive used either of those fans..but i know mine..6'' active air from hydrofarm.com..the green 1's .. i think at 6'' u get 300cfm +..im not a fan of the 4..cause every little bend restricts the cfm already..but i think mine went for around a bill..and its so worthwhile..

i picked up my stanley blower from e bay for 40 bucks. it takes up more room than an inline fan but it works for now. i will get an inline next year. anyway i have 250 cu. ft. room exhausting out a 6" and i have a 7" passive intake. will be an 8" intake next year.

thanks for the response tilemaster.
I'm definitely going to get a 6" fan, just don't know whats the best value. I don't want to buy a cheaper fan and regret it after it breaks or something.
I looked at hydrofarms website and saw the green 6" active air fan, seems like a fair price at $150.
You happy with yours? keeps your temp right?
