You will wish you would have picked up the 400W, IMO. I have a cab that is a little under 4x4 that I had a 1000W MH for veg and HPS for flower in with an air cooled hood and a 172 CFM 4 in vortex pulling air out into an air scrubber with a couple little fart fans for intake and it was cool. I now use the cab for veg with a 400W and it is always cool and I don't need the fart fans, but the air cooled hood can make all the difference. I could of layed the hood on my tummy even when I had the 1K Hortilux in there.
Also, I have a row of 5 CFL lights up top with a small shelf about 8x20for a clone tray that takes up very little room and gives out very little heat. I can put a 10x 20 cloning tray up there with 18 clones in it and it works fine.

PS, I have a thread somewhere around here with pics of it.
