Newbie looking to upgrade LED

Hi guys and gals!
I Know this topic has been talked about a million times before but with the leds progressing every year I thought I’d ask the experts.

I have a 3’x3’ tent and currently running a Chinese blurple with two Cobs built in. I’ve only done a few grows but i’m looking to upgrade and have been doing some research.....but there are so many options and so many points of view

What do you guys recommend for a 3’x3’ tent with a top budget of $600(in Canada)

What’s your opinions on Chinese DIY quantum boards(touchy subject I know)

Or building my own cobs?

I’m open to DIY to save some money.....I’m pretty handy but not an electrician.

I know this is a very open ended post but any info would be greatly appreciated!

Happy growing!

Thanks for all your suggestions guys.....that gives me a much better idea.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on the SP series from Mars that FAKE STOKER suggested?

If I was to do a diy with strip LED’s......what’s your thoughts on the quality difference between the bridgelux strips vs the strips from Atreum(ARA 20’s) .....it wouldn’t let me post the Link.
I would probably do as GBAUTO suggested and get 320w driver and how ever many strips would work.

Thanks again guys
