The easy route? Grow tents/kits?

Sooooo last year i started a DIY grow, it was all going great, but had to move flat and its was far too much hassle bringing everything with me, which sucked. So now i'm settled again. Now i'm thinking about starting over again :) But i think i might just go for broke this time, a nice tent with ventilation and filter, a decent digital ballast and maybe even some kind of auto watering system. Got a lovely big (but potentially warm closet, height well over 11' so no worries :)

Wondering if it's worth shelling big bucks on these tents though?

Does something like this represent decent value for money?

Then just grab something off here (ish)...?

Need to probably win over the girlfriend it seems as well though, and i'm thinking having a "nice looking" tent in the closet nice and clean might be the best way and my ghetto DIY nightmare before...!

Any advice, cheap deals available, or where to start looking wouldn't go amis, cheers guys!

I love my homebox XXL. It was easy to put up and is very well designed. Getting to plants inside the tent is easy, there is a piece of reflective material that goes over the bottom of the tent to act as a spill tray so you don't have to get on hands and knees to clean up the floor of the tent after each run it also does a good job of containing spills. There are vents on the bottom that can also be cover up to prevent light from entering the box (if it's not in total darkness). My model just has the panda plastic instead of the Mylar but it does make setting everything up easy, the structure is quite sturdy, and it has places to put power cords and ducting through with a bit of overhanging material and a drawstring to keep light in/out. You should have no problems hanging heavy reflectors or carbon filters from inside the tent.

It wasn't the cheapest on the market but it's a lot better then anything I personally would have been able to build.

Also HTGsupply gets mentioned a lot as a source of inexpensive equipment. They have kits but I have never bought off them so I know nothing of their quailty/value.
