Thanks for the input! I really like the look of the radiums on the HQI ballast....just not sure I can deal with replacing them every 6 months or so.

Now thinking about my original idea again...a single 400watt bulb on a light mover with some VHO actinic....but instead of the XM10K maybe use the Giesemann Megachrome Coral 14.5K....From what I am reading, it has a stronger actinic line than the XM, so it looks good with a bit less supplementation...Its still an expensive bulb, but if I can get away with 2 vho instead of 4 it will be worth it.
