I believe the consensus is that dual arc 630 cmh is subpar to 2 Philips 315's.
As for heat - people have been running 600W HPS and Even 1000's when air cooled in tents for years

I ran an air cooled de 630 in a tent but it had 8 ft ceilings. It was at same height as hps 600. I didn't care for it, it's in my garage gathering dust. I love 315 cmh with the Phillips bulbs, so I'd use 2 of those over the de 630 or even a dual bulb 630 as I'd like the bulbs to be further apart. But I've never air cooled the 315 cmh.

It would be comparable to a 600 hps maybe even a little better but the bulbs haven't been reliable for me. The Chinese bulbs actually lasted longer than the growers choice ones. But could have just been bad luck. If I had to choose between the two I'd pick the hps 600, the old hortilux bulbs are super reliable.

Has anyone ever used the sun system Beast? I saw one for sale used on CL not to long ago. For those that don't google its I think a DE 1000 with two 315 cmh one on each side. Looks hella beastly.

Never used it but gonna be a lot of heat. I don't think the de 1k ballast is built in I think it's seperate so maybe a 600/750 de ballast and bulb.
