OK at Hello lights I found a setup that I can add VHO to later.
This is the breakdown
2 150/175 ARO ballast $210
1 reflector $30
2 175w 20k XM bulbs $118
2 Standard mogules $16
2 cord $6
over wieght shipping $14
$403 Total

What do you think about the ballast selection or anything else ?
my other choice is a dual setup with ice cap a few $$$ more

Ushio bulbs will have excellent PAR value, and IMO is probably one of the best mogul base bulbs available.
