it sounds like it will work. i dont know your situation and how you plan to set up. but why 2- 400's? to get more light coverage? i use 400's myself. but 1- 600w HPS is around 98000 lumens.

just an idea. section off that 7x8 area into a smaller veg./clone area and use the t-5's in there. use the larger portion of the 7x8 area and get a 600w HPS for the 6 girls.

I can't see the whole 7x8 room for just (2) 400 watt hps and the 12 t5 bulbs, the guy above me has a good suggestion about sectioning the room off. BUT if you have six plants, with 167,000 lumens, in a 56 sq ft., that's around 3,000 lumens per square foot. I don't know the exact number but I think a plant needs around ~3,000 lumens for healthy growth. So I think that you will be in good shape.
