Question for you guys...
I'm thinking about upping to the 600W when I buy the new ballast/reflector/bulb(s). With the 6" fan pulling air across the light, it'll probably be cool enough in there, especially with the a/c going this summer. But I'm not 100% certain. I don't want to invest in something I can't use. Thoughts/opinions? Bear in mind I'm growing in a 4x2x8 space and 400W barely cuts the mustard in regards to lumens/sq. ft., but it does.
So I was thinking about upping to the 600W hps, and buying a new 600W MH bulb next veg session. Do you guys forsee heat issues if doing this? Better off going with the 400W? It's a $15 difference between the two, so I figure if I'm going to spend the money, and it's not going to create any problems in my space, I should go for the 600W; aiming at those denser buds.

Both options run MH and HPS bulbs, both. Will be selecting the Euro Reflector (cheapest air coolable option) to go with it. But, being that I lack experience with temperature and lighting options, I figure maybe you guys can steer me in the right direction before I make a bad decision.
