Looking for a good 400W MH ballast.


I am currently in the market for a good 400w MH ballast. Untill now I have just been buying all my ballasts new from Icecap, but the 400 is a little spendy and I dont think I really need that right now. I wqas thinking something like PFO or something. Does any one have a good or bad experiance with a specific 400W ballast? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just looked up the PFO ballasts and they dont seem to differ alot in price for the do-all version. Besides the bulb choices what is the difference betweeen pulse-start and not? (besides the $70)

I've got a spare 400W ballast that came from a greenhouse that runs the XM20K, Radium 20K, and all 10Ks great. I'm not willing to sell it as it's worth more to me than what I could get for it. However, If money is tight your welcome to borrow as long as you like. It is enclosed but not as nice of a enclosure as the PFO.
