Now there are some mid range models that aren't as badly priced. Even only 1-2 years ago it was either super expensive high-end or very expensive low-end units but now with a lot more manufacturers you can get a half decent fixture for the price of a good MH+T5 combo if you shop around.

I will have to agree on the above noted.
That is why i went with a DIY system only recommend it if you have time and the know how for DIY
