Yeah I'm a big fan of CFLs but lots of people don't like them.
They would'nt need as much of an expensive ventilation system as you can use 12v PC fans and PVC ducting which cuts costs dramatically. You can still handle the 125W bulbs after constant 24hr operation they're that cool.
You should at least give them a try, especially if you have a separate veg chamber.
