I would go with the 4 600s
More points of light makes for better coverage
600s are easier to cool
and 4 600s is 2400 watts, 4 1000s is 4000s (ok actually closer to 2700 watts and 4400 watts) so the power difference is huge.
I would start there and then upgrade to 1000s down the line if you are not happy with the 600s, you would be surprised how fast you could find someone to trade there 1000 for a 600, in fact i have one i would trade right now lol.
