I'm looking for people's experiences between the two ballasts as we're considering a 250W system for flowering next time. Heck, if we had the money magically appear in the next month we'd switch now I think! Easier to deal with than a plethora of CFLs all over that have to be moved as the plants grow!

How much of a difference is there between the two types?

Heat?

noise?

How much longer do bulbs last in the digital ballasts compared to the magnetic?

Thanks!
