CMH vertical vs horizontal

[No1up]

I' llike to make two tent set up one running QB 320 and the other CMH 315. I' llike to see the difference myself. Just wondering if a horizontal hood would be better than vertical. I belive the broad side of the bulb would be facing the canopy so it would get more bare light. Where as the vertical would probably have more even spread and maybe a bit cooler.. What say you?

Vert hoods produce 10-15% more intensity, cmh lights are designed to be in a vertical hood.
