Rectangular closet (2.5'x9') light distribution

Hey guys,
I'm sure similar stuff to this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything...hard to find the correct search terms for a topic like this.

Anyways, my closet is very rectangular- 2.5' x 9' and 6' tall. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get more even lighting, or if the light distribution will even be a problem? I have one 1000 watt hps, in an air cooled hood. I was thinking of going with two 400's instead, but iv'e heard that bud quality in terms of density and yield just can't compare with a 1000 watter, so i'd really prefer to stick to that.

I've looked into light movers as well, but i'm not sure if it'd be worth it and iv'e heard negative things about them too (many claim lower or identical yields).

Light will be over two 2x4 ebb and flow trays, laid out in front of each other to make one large 2x8 table. I will be Scrogging everything.

Any advice appreciated :)

Thanks

You know what, I think I'm just going to make myself a 4x5 grow tent.

Funny, this is my first grow and I started by purchasing a 250 watt hps and computer fan for ventilation....but the continual reading on these boards has caused me to keep upgrading before even starting my grow. Now i'm up to a 1000 watt hps/mh light and two 435cfm inline's. Hopefully it turns out good!

Do what I did. Put mylar blankets EVERYWHERE. I also had some CFL's pointing up from the floor along with my 400 w HPS. I get some really nice results.
