Churchhaze pointed you to a popular, easy to put together, DIY option hoodlum... though you'll need to do your own reserch, there are some threads here covering such a build.

Otherwise, for something that will finish two plants without being too disappointed (compared to 400w HPS) (i think you'll be dissapointed).... not enough $ !
A smaller panel from one of the better builders A-51, RapidLED, Hans.. (they are all discussed on here), even just one plant might be a better start.If not the first round, you could just struggle with and regret a cheap light soon enough (by the second run.. if it lasts that long). I did ok with a (3w) apollo but it was a custom build, still drawing a lot of power and i sold it before anything blew (the power draw wigged me out some). Hope this helps.

Hp4s....$2650 for 300w.

That's the kind of a$$ rapage that leads to people putting together their own lights

Duck fat

Click on my microcab link for a 88w light build. Could easily be a 200w light build with a bigger driver and heatsink. Just one of many DIY options that will do as good or better than anything else.
