Go with the HLG 550. I dropped over eight bills on mine with a discount not too long ago (was that labor day?). Anywho, this light has so far performed WAY beyond my expectations. It is a true 1000w HID replacement. Straight up. I have mine in a 3x3 text over a two plant scrog running a cut of Ancient OG which I have grown under CXB3590, Vero 29 Gen 7, and Citizen CLU058 lights. These quantum boards are a massive leap forward over cobs in my opinion. The only way cobs would rival it is to have a large array of them dimmed way down (I'm thinking about Timber's $1,000+ framework models here). My HLG 550 is dimmed all the way down and the two plants underneath are the bushiest, hardiest plants I have grown to date in any previous grow, that includes hps. I'm three weeks into flower and absolutely killing it with this light.
I was skepical of the quantums at first, but holy fvck do these babies throw down a sh!tton of light!! Max setting is like staring into the damn sun. You will be surprised by quantum boards, believe me!
