Need help with lighting

I currently have a 600w HPS and a 400 watt HPS in a 6'x6'x7' grow tent (EBAY)
Im looking at adding more lighting. I'm debating on either buying 2x1000 watt lights, or buying 3 more 600watt lights (BTW this is my flower room) so I will have a total of 4x 600watt lights in 4 different areas of the grow tent. Ive attached a crude pic of my idea with the 600 watt light HPS setup. I assume you could figure out how the 1000 watt x2 would be setup. Any advice would help Thank you.

I personally would rather use 4x 600's as I feel it would give more even coverage to the area. But before I did that I would think about the heat issues and how I would cool them. You planning on using cool tubes or vented hoods or just regular ones?

You could always look at using light movers as well as another option. I would definately think about the cooling though.

i'm looking at vented hoods, to cool them off. i'm leaning towards the 4x600 watt config as well.

LOL i never really considered the electric bill (in the winter) due to the average temp is something near 20 degrees F LOL so my heat bill will be next to nothing I will be posting a journal of this grow in early Feb.
