So I got my 8 bulb fixture yesterday and after my Red Suns were delivered today, I shuffled around some bulbs and peppered in the red suns... tada!

Here's all 3 of my fixtures, the 8 bulb for vegging and the two 4 bulbs for flower, to use as side lighting. You'll notice the 4 bulb units have individual reflectors so the bulb colors are much more vivid and dont bleed into each other like they do in the 8 bulb unit which has a reflector for every 2. I have a Radiion 48 but I think the BadBoys are the same way (the 4 bulb units are Radiion 44's, w individual reflectors.) I think that three 4 bulb units ($100 ea. = $300 for 12 bulbs total) would be a better choice than two 8 bulb units ($150ea =$300 for 16 bulbs) there would prob be slightly less heat and 216 fewer watts used for about the same light spread/coverage area. I think the 8 bulb unit's reflectors cause wasted light from bulbs shining into each other and not a reflector. The tubes will absorb and waste some of the emitted light from other bulbs if they shine on each other. point is, you can see from the brightness side by side, that the 4 bulb units use the light more effectively, IMHO. blah blah blah heres more pics
