those are way overpriced....i built my 2x250w MH xm 10k with reflectors and 440w VHO UrI actinics for around 350. I would go retro and do it yourself.

You have to keep in mind that if you are making your own retro, then you are paying "at cost". If someone is buying a lighting system from someone else, then, yes, you are going to pay more than what it would cost to make it yourself.
