those lights will be ok. you can use a hps for veg. unless you dont want to use the electricity.

yeah 70-84 is fine. cooler temps at night are better.

I know a very inexpensive seller on ebay. You can get the full setup, 400wHPS ballast, reflector, 400wHPS bulb for $100.00, you can get an additional 400wMH conversion bulb for the same ballast for $125.00
Let me know if your interested.
But it doesn't sound like you would have the room. For a very limited space, CFLs are definitely the way to go.
