Another choice might be 2 mini pendants such as the Optix I or Optix III by Sunlight Supply and stick in the ballast of your choice. A few threads back in the Pictures section, you can see how my tank looks with the AB 10K DE bulb in the Optix III.

You can get an electronic ballast as low as $120US each and the pendant (PFO mini or Optix mini) for $109US each by mailorder.
