2k in 5x9 question

Im thinking about switching to vert with two 2kw hps bare bulbs in a rectangle room.

I would be running RDWC with 4 totes (18 gal bins) each having 8 plant sites but only want to use max 4 and I am wondering if its worth me running vertical right now.

I would have to run my totes in a line in the room I believe.

X being the totes
O being my two 1kw'rs

What would you do? Running vert would save me tons on having to get air cooled hoods and running new ducting and all that jazz.
 
I did a stadium grow with 2 1000s in a 10x5 tent. Worked out pretty well. I dont know how well your coverage will be with 8 plants per tub.. I did 8 clones to a bin and it was just way to over crowded by harvest time IMO.. Hell I say go for it what do you really have to loose except gain experience and knowledge. And when you get rid of the hoods it is going to get a little bit brighter when you stick your head in there ;)
 
Would a Stadium layout be better than what I originally posted? Being RDWC I would have to build my system to function in a stadium manner then, which I would do if its the best layout for the room and just have the 2 1kw'rs stacked?
 
if doing vert you need to surround the light with plants, I see in you configuration you will only be using half of the bulb, stay horizontal imo
