Hi, more light, better results! It is that simple, if you provided a budget that you have to live by, that would have made your question easier to answer.
Having said that, I've seen one plant grown under a 1000 watt hps, with two 400 watts as side lighting, and it yeilded 3.5 lbs.
If your budget is $50.00 or less you have no decision to make except cfl's, if you can come up with slightly more, get a 400 watt hps.
As your budget grows, so do your options.

42w 2700k CFLs are 2600 lumens. Sounds like 4. I have 10 for 5 plants, but a little different setup.
