Only thing 600s are better for is heat and lumens per watt. There's no replacing a 1000w bulb.
A 1000w bulb has stronger light and more penetration. Light coverage is about the same but the light intensity is much better w a 1000w bulb. A 600w and 400w covers more space potentially leading to more yield you wud have to try it and find out idk an answer to that one, that's a good question!!
Obviously the best would be 2 (600s) roughly only 200 more watts but WAY MORE lumens and coverage and proly an easy 50% yield increase over a 1000w in comparison while only needing 200 more watts.
I know several ppl running 600s who used run 1000s and watt for watt I believe ur better off with 7 (600s) over 4 (1000s) that's a no brainier. 1000w are good for big grows bcuz it's less ballasts and hoods etc.. While still getting the yields u want but if u can afford all the 600s than go with the 600s all day
