Anyone with dual 400 MH on a 90 gallon

I currently have 2 175 watt MH on my tank with 2 55 watt PC's. I know that I want to upgrade my lighting. I have a 90 gallon tank and the lighting was desinged for a 55. I can do a couple of things. The easiest is to stay with the same hood and just upgrade the ballast when it is time to upgrade my bulbs. If I do that I can't decide between dual 400 or dual 250 the price is almost the same, but heat is the concern.
The other option is build a new hood with 3 metal halides a 250 or 400 in the middle with my 175's on the outside. I would get rid of the PCs then. Any recommendations???
Currently I run 20k MH with 10k PC's I like this look and would stay with it going forward.
Anyone with dual 400 mh on a 90?

Close....I have a 100 gal display with 2x400 10K XM's and 2x110 URI actinic VHO's
Heat did become an issue and last summer I had to install a chiller to keep things under control.
