Default Son Agro Ballast Q for Electrical Engineers

From the info I have been able to pull from the net the Advance transformer SON AGRO ballast has a power factor of 0.8 which gives the draw of the ballast approx 5.2 amps at 120 volts(whew).

The Universal/Magnetek SON AGRO ballast doesn't give a power factor but draws considerably less power. Specs state 4.30 amps at 120 volts.

Any enginners out there that can comment on the difference between the two ballasts. Seems the Universal ballast would probably be more economical to run.
