 yes there are, any other non electronic ballast. Electronic ballasts underdrive the bulbs so you don't get the full capability out of the bulb.. the amount of power this saves will take years to offset the cost difference.
I personaly prefer the M80 tar ballasts (250 watt HQI ballast) they will run any 250 watt bulb out there.  if they are to expensive then the next best choise would be a pulse start ballast.
