I was thinking about this unit (~$193 or $173 if 4+ units are bought and it costs ~$18 US to ship to a friend in the US). Pendent, ballast, & 10K bulb included.

I've talked to some people I know on a planted tank list and they say it's pretty good....... although they had to change the bulb to a lower K varient.
