You'd have to check around. It is a veey good light for the money. Lm301b diodes and meanwell drivers are top end. Go for a 3000k with 660nm for best flowers imo. Peace.

I'd save your money and get an HLG 320, a HLG 260 or even 2 HLG 135's. Or get a Timber.

They are the same diode. Just marketed differently H for horticulture but they are identical

HLG gets the best diodes and is top quality which is a big one for me. They also are the inventors of the quantum boards, everyone else just copied them. I'm not a fan of Chinese knockoffs, but some people seem to like a couple brands on here.
If you can't afford it, I say "Go Big or Go Home!", lol.

They are not the same. They're the pick of the litter.

what would you say is the benefit of getting the 320W over the 260?

More light and a more even spread. I have 2 135's in my 2x4 veg tent. That would work too. I like to be able to adjust them individually for different heights if I need to, and I have a pretty even spread. 2 135's or a 240 is a tiny bit underpowered for a 2x4, and the 320 is about perfect, maybe even a tiny bit more than you need.
Actually the 2 135's would be right around 35 watts a sq ft if maxed out. The 320 you could turn down a little and have better spread though. They'd both work.

I don't like they say it's good for a 4x4 when it's only 280 watts.

The 320 watt R-Spec kit with 3 boards is also driven a little softer (1750mA vs. 2100mA I believe) than the 260 watt kit with 2 boards.
So in addition to higher Photosynthetic photon flux output, the system efficacy is slightly higher with the 320 watt kit.

Multiply the wattage x system efficacy to get the lights PPF output. 320 watts x 2.63 µmol/J = 841.6 µmol/second for the 320 watt R-Spec kit.
The PPF figure is actually a little higher as Horticulture Lighting Group says that kit will top out at 340 watts.
