Where do u live that a zip is $350-$400? Lol i need to move there, id make a killing. But back to ur question, ive grown with cfls for a few years now, its no question that an hps system is better than cfls when it comes to light penetration but just like u i have very limited grow space, my tent is only 30"x18"x36". But i lst and surround my babys in cfls and i get some pretty impressive yields, nice dense frosty nuggs, honestly just do what works for you and makes u and ur ladys happy. An hps system in my tent would turn it into an E Z bake oven lol

I might also add that cooling will be abot of an issue with an hps unit as im only using a small grow box and only have 2 small fans on it 1 for intake and 1 for exhaust

CFLs put out plenty of heat, you just don't hear about it because those using CFLs seldom use more than 100-200 watts and CFLs spread the heat out over a larger area.

It's good that you listed the cost of hps in your location.
With that said. Hell yeah go with the 2 150w cfls and look down the road to upgrade!
