yes it does, but it seems like i will end up with a shit load of lights if i use the 2 cfls for each plant. so assuming i will pay more for the hps or mh, what would be sufficient for flowering 20 plants in the above space i mentioned?

yep.. for 20 plants you want 1000 HPS setup or something more extreme. I have 2 plants and use a $70 150W HPS system that puts out 16,000 Lumens .. Ill need to upgrade this to 400W HPS that puts out 60,000 Lumens so that my plants can have full chance of growing.
