Four HLG QB96 Elite V2 boards on a 600w driver, or two 320w drivers. Even if you get a small increase in yield versus the 1000w SE, you're just about halving your power usage, and therefore near doubling your gpw. Know what I mean?
I'd go with spider farmer SF4000.
I just bought my 8 boards for $225 shipped! I almost bought 2 more @ 4000K for veg but trying to wait to spend any more today. Still need to get my drivers and frame it up. 
Congrats and hats off to Stephen and all of the HLG: give the alibubbers a run for their money!Happy New Year RIU
I have been lurking in this thread for a few weeks. Originally posted some questions on building my next light setup in the other knockoff board thread, as I was momentarily tempted to cheat on HLG with the girls from China. But sense got the better of me, and I have been planning on building out my lights using 4 qb288 v1 boards per HLG240 (@ 60w per board) to cover a 2x4 area. I will have 2 of these inside of a 5x4 closet. (@Rocket Soul thank you for your guidance so far, I have scaled back my initial plans like you suggested and going to keep it smaller and dial it in over time).
Anyway I have been waiting until after the holidays to pull the trigger on 8 of the 3000K v1 boards. Figured I would wait until my tax return money comes in and splurge on the new lights.
Well, this morning I went on HLG's site to stare at specs like usual, and almost spit out my coffee. The v1 boards are now only $29!!!!!!!! Deal of the decade
I have a bunch more questions for all of you but I will make seperate posts for those. Just wanted to share this awesome deal with you all. (Please no one buy the last 2 4000K boards that I will need lol).
Thank you @Stephenj37826 you just kicked my New Year off to an amazing start!

i actually laughed at this part lol.....its exactly how i feel when i start looking or talking about drivers lol
Just give me the numbers I need, right? haha!
yes please lol
5 x 36V boards or 3 x 48v boards this wouldnt max the driver. Qb120 is 36v iirc...
Hmm those are odd numbers, dang. I guess I can run 4x36V boards?
Add the four that you want to swap out then get the rspecs...
Yes, but yoour only using the driver at 80% capacity, more or less the same as with 3x 48V boards.
I see I'm not the only one that noticed those... Was planning on getting another 4 pack of 132s but 4 of these is probably a better plan I guessHappy New Year RIU

The only benefit the 132s have is that you dont need any type of heatsink. I am still planning on building a frame using aluminum baker pans and angle aluminum. But yeah for $10 more you can get 4 288's instead. Kind of hard to pass that up.
