well partial.. they are not realy that much more expensive.. a AB 250 watt DE compared to a AB 250 watt SE. they both use the same ballast..

but like you said with the lower profile and the smaller size they become a new choice.. take a 250 watt bulb and try stuff it over a 10 gal nano.. cant do it.. you will have mogual socket spilling out the ends.. but now do it with a DE and you have lots of room.. you can even fit a couple actinics in there.. kinda of a extreem example but you get my point.. this is also the driving force behind the new sleak hanging pendents from AB and giessmen (how every you spell it) wight out double ended bulbs they would be a lot more bulkey and the reflectors would have to be a lot larger.
