i run 1000w hps with ballast.....tacs on about 80 bucks a month on the old bill.so i'd say about 30 or 40 bucks a month for you.
 
Bad boy all the way!!! I'm gonna jar 2 plants tonight i weighed one ttimmed but wet at 469 grams. T-5's will produce with a low heat factor.
 
HPS can be used effectively for the whole grow IF you have a bulb with an expanded blue spectrum to enhance veg growth. They don't make 150 watt bulbs like that, only 400 watt and above. Otherwise you need a MH for veg and a HPS for flowering. I doubt that fixture will run an MH bulb, so you would need a conversion bulb. To my knowledge, conversion bulbs are only made for 400 watt and above. Get the Bad Boy. The increased yield will more than pay for any price difference.
 
Or do what i do in one of my grow space's run 2 150 hps with a 100 watt mh hanging between them! I currently am lighting a 48"wx24"dx 48"high area with 2- 70 watt hps 1- 100 watt mh and 3 large 65 watt(300) watt equivalent cfl with 4 plants and a few seedlings. here is the link. In main grow area i use 400 watt hps and 400watt mh throughout entire grow.here are some free seeds in a basement corner with lighting mentioned above.
