Looking for feedback on tents

I have been working on my girls in a gutted fridge, but I want a little more space. I am looking for a 4x4 tent. I have checkede Ebay, Amazon, and my local hydro shop. The prices vary alot, and I am wondering if anyone on here has had experience with any of the tents. If I'm gonna spend good money, I want to make sure I'm gonna get my moneys worth. Any feedback, positive or negative, would be appreciated.

i have experiance with growlab 120's and jardins dr80's. The gl120 is 3'11"x3'11"x 6'9", i would suggest a 600hps for this tent. The dr80 is much smaller and i wouldnt suggest anything above a 250-400watt hps in there hid wise. The gl120 has been a BEAST of a tent for me to be honest. I dont use all the ports available for ducting both 4in and 6in porting, and have had no issue with temps with proper inline air flow. They can be purchased new and used and are worth what i paid 200.00 brand new last year.

I use an AgroMax 2x3x5.5 with a 400WT light. I did have some heat issues for which I've developed a work around, but a good 6" vent at the bottom of the tent in addition to the little 4" I use to run the electrical cords in would be nice. So in general, I like the tents! But there might be one designed slightly better than this one.

I've got a 4x4x6.5 off eBay and I love it. Paid around $130. Just look for one that has a good amount of vent holes and a thicker material.

I have been using cfls in my veg with wonderful success so far. I am only going to use the tent for veg, because I have a small room with a 1000w hps for flower. I am planning on using 2 200w cfl lamps with hoods in the tent, so i am not too concerned about heat. The area the tent will be kept has an ambient temp between 65 and 75 degrees. If I do decide to upgrade to a hid light, I am sure heat control will become an issue, and I appreciate all the input on dealing with it. Has anyone had any issues with the quality of any of the tents, or odor control issues. Odor is a much bigger issue than heat to me at this point. I have a intake and exhaust system in place now that does a great job at getting the heat out, but I cant have people walking into my house and smelling my medicine cabinet. thank you again for all the input.

Be careful of the cheap tents. I bought a cheap 3x3 and it has light leaks all over the damned thing. I will be upgrading to a Growlab 120 in a couple weeks and use the current cheap tent for mother plants.
