Agreed, when I got into this hobby I thought I wouldn't be able to do halides. But after I realized I had to have them, and talking to a few locals, I realized it can be done for cheaper than one might think. Even getting all the seperate parts from an LFS (like I did) is a significant savings over buying a canopy, which is what I was going to do. Having someone send me a free Ushio and two moguls was kinda handy as well.
