wow thanks for the input guys.  the one reason i was questioning going to T5's is because i have bought a profilux controller, the second one in north america and it has the capabilities of dimming t5's to give more realistic sunset, sunrise and a ton of other options with the lighting.  marc (Fudge) has been running a post on the performance of the controller for further info.  but from what i have found i'm sticking with the 3 250w setup for now.
