Build journal to follow once I figure out how to photobucket pics here, Lol!

Personally, I wouldn't suggest you to get high end LED fixtures yet since you plan of moving to SPS in a "year or two" which is a long time considering how LEDs technologies are changing in every six months. Or maybe you can go for fixtures like AI sol or vega (or maybe some generic chinese fixture) for now and when time comes, get a higher end fixture. Since you are going softies for now, I wouldn't put much pressure on lighting Just my $0.05.
