SOG returns

I`m restarting the sea of green.

I`m planning on extracting the maximum yield from the watts I`m expending.
My vegging stage is pretty sorted- I`ve got a fluro reflector capable of using 1 or 2 200W bulbs and I`m building a suitable cab for vegging (my old set up was that reflector in a cabinet split into two with a 400W Phillips sodium light (ballast and reflector combined) on the other side).

I`ll be using the original cab (with the division taken out) for flowering. It`s a suitable size for 600W- 1.8 m high x 1.8m wide x 900 deep. I`m considering my options. I`m thinking of buying a 600W set up and either ditching the 400W or using it as an auxiliary light. Almost any investment is worth it as long as the results are good- I don`t plan on expanding any time soon and my resources are good. I`ve got a Rukka fan and a 100 x 400mm scrubber.

I`m considering a digital ballast and fancy reflector Great Stuff Hydroponics > Adjust-A-Wings
Anyone have any thoughts or any experience with digital ballasts or poncey reflectors? Value/waste of cash? The point is to extract the maximum THC from a 600W sodium lamp.

My seedlings are loving life. The clock is ticking. Northern Lights here I come.
