Might check out HTG Supply, they can build you a setup tailored to your needs. They have lots of options on their 1000w stuff and the prices are very hard to beat given the decent warranty.

well to be honest I don't really like the companies like RVF and HTG that assemble their own ballasts if spending isn't a concern. Go with a lumatek or galaxy ballast, they're much higher quality

All of our magnetic ballasts are Made in the US by Sunlight Supply in Vancouver, WA. And we also carry Galaxy and Lumatek electronic ballasts.
HTG brand ballasts are actually no-name Chinese made ballasts that they brand as their own. I know this as I get emails every day from multiple Chinese manufacturers trying to sell me their awesome ballasts that only have a 5% or 10% failure rate to which I say no thanx. Support American business when possible.
No, we are not the cheapest place to buy lighting, but on the other hand we don't sell "cheap equipment" that may or may not fail or burn your house down.
To the OP, if you check out what we have for lighting components I can put together a 1000watt system of your choosing.

The exact same 1000Watt system as the link above for about $90 less and free shipping at RVF. For that price you could get a very nice air-cooled Sun System reflector instead of that cheap ass batwing reflector.
To be more precise you can get that exact 1000Watt system for $405.85 at RVF Garden Supply when you use the coupon in my sig + free shipping. $450.85 without the coupon. HTG charges shipping so savings would be closer to $110/system @ RVF.

Many of the HTG prices differ if you talk to them on the phone(Website updates?). I recommended them only because they were the best deal for ME at the time. Opinions are great, but when it comes down to it you need to do a little research call the main places and get quotes then you'll know exactly what you're dealing with.
