Need a new vented reflector. What to get for my space?

A quick break down of my set up. My flowering area is about 5'x8'. I have a huge 12" carbon filter sitting in the corner with a 10" inline fan. It exhausts out the room after cooling my light. There is also a large oscillating fan on the other side of the room. Right now I'm flowering 6 plants in about a 6' long area. I have a 1000w switchable ballast that is hooked to a smaller 6" vented reflector (sun star I think) on a 6' light rail. (only moving the light about 4'). I want to upgrade hoods to something with a larger footprint. All my cooling is currently set up for 6" but I can use a 8" with reducers if needed. I was looking into a Raptor or a Blockbuster? I really like the Luxor, but I don't know anyone who has ever used one. I also liked the raptor because of its rectangular shape. I wouldn't need to have the light rail move the light as much with it. What would you more experienced growers recommend?

Link above to a room I setup using a blockbuster 6".

Great great hood. I used a 600w in it and it rocked.

Then hot fuzz came and took it away. Lol.

Can't go wrong. Absolutely fantastic design. The light spread is very focused. Easy thumb screws to undo the bottom glass for cleaning or bulb changes. Non leaking rubber sealed glass.

I'm partial to the magnum xxxl 6" hoods. Large footprint and slim height, gives a couple extra inches of grow height and because of the large foot print you can keep light lower while still spreading it.

Edit: +1 to the blockbuster, it's basically the same as the magnum just slightly smaller. Quality is the same, and it's top of the line.
