Intrested to see your results, got my eye on the lumatek zeus 2.9
I'm still using lumatek 600w 400v ballasts with sunmaster 7k mh and gavita bulbs for flower.
However after speaking with Migro yesterday maxibright have a 600w cmh 3k aggro bulb that runs on old mag ballasts which his tests show are superior, expecially in terms of offering a much broader spectrum and efficacy. 1.9 micromoles which is comparable with some LEDs
The bulbs are £110 and mag ballasts are cheap as chips.
Maxibright claim the bulbs will work with digital ballasts too but Migro found they only work with some.
I have ordered a couple to test out, have had great results with 315w cmh in the past but was costly and lacked power!
Just been looking at this very LED unit, looks pretty impressive, bit too much for me right now just trying to weigh up of its worth throwing an led in to this current run, got 8x8 full and issues with temps. Was looking at cheaper options as i could use my own ballast ones i was looking at were priced around £280-360 was either maybe these or the spider farmer bar light think runs at 300 watts.
