Hello everyone,
I am set on starting a PC Grow. I have some general knowledge of growing and have read a few books. I have decided on a PC Grow due to the stealth and hydro they come with.
I have a few options such as the the PC from Sunlightshed.com for right under $800 with seeds.

There is also another one I am looking at on Ebay which would only be $425 with seeds.

Of course I will be able to afford the Ebay one more easily and will be able to get a harvest much sooner due to the lower overhead. However, I am worried that the cheaper one will not preform as well. The main things I am worried about in such a small grow is lighting and space. The space is almost exactly the same in these two however the cheaper one is using CFL's rather than HPS.
A) I was wondering which one you guys would chose?
B) How well do the CFL's they provide compare to HPS or Fluros?
C) Can CFL's Burn plants *(is the mesh kit really needed?)
D) The more expensive one comes with more accessories but more overhead. Is the extra cash now worth it in the end?
THanks for all the help in advance.
