help me choose a 250W kit.

I am in the market for a 250W HPS setup. I am looking at 2 options:

1) Lumatek 250 eballast + socket - 135 shipped

or

2) 250W DIY magnetic ballest kit from htg supply. - 67 shipped.

What do you guys recomend? Or do you have other suggestions.

I know for a fact HTG supplies good equipment at good prices.

wow, not even a hard one. lol, GET THE LUMATEK! I had a magnetic and then I got a lumatek digital and the difernce is as big as they say. 30% is really noticable. It is an amazing product. Make sure you get a cord that is sheilded and wired. BGhydro and their website should answer all your questions. Awesome. I too want one.

Is the digital ballast worth twice the cost?
