Just to add to the convo... if you want to save some more cash (and don't want to go farther than 175 watts), you can always go and buy yourself a couple of M57 ballasts. I got two from Bartle and Gibson for 62.70 bucks each. They don't look pretty, but they run my 175 watt ushios just fine... If you want casings for them, I would talk to Jim, the guy has a bunch of MH casings laying around his garage.
