*EDIT*
I came back to change the title and finding that I cant.

Currently I have about 8 32w CFL's running and Ive managed to procure the funds to invest in HPS/MH lights. Ive never used anything like these before, just CFLs and was wanting some advice.

I'm planning on growing atleast 5 plants at a time and I'm looking into a 600w setup.

This the current light im looking into.

Thoughts?
 
Don't know much about hps but that system looks ok to me.Just don't forget you will have to deal with the heat.
 
That looks descent for the price. Personally I'd rather use a HPS bulb with expanded blue spectrum, like the Eye Hortilux, instead of having to switch between the MH and HPS bulbs.

Would I have any issues with just buying the Eye Hortilux bulb and using it with this ballast?
 
No issues, they should work fine with that ballast.
