Chad, even though I like the 55W straight-pin bulbs, I'd hate to see that 175 MH. Sounds poor...
Back to the cheap bulbs part - there seems to be 3 choices for new "affordable" MH now - SA, Arc, and RS (Stephane's). People on the other boards have said they see a colour difference, quality difference, etc... who knows, they could all come from the same factory.
Ivan is out front now with this introductory pricing, though. Let's see how long that lasts.
