my tent operates the same way and I have a 400 watt in it. Its smaller than yours. 2'x3''5' and im putting a 600 watt in on monday with a cooltube and straight cold air running through the cooltube. I used a 400watt with a dome reflector in the exact same size tent as yours a few years ago with no air flow or anything in my basement and temps were perfect.. didnt have to do a thing. SO go with a 600, but ya get a dimmable just in case, its worth the extra $20 or what ever. With a 600watt cooltube in your tent you will be fine and wont regret it. Thats why I switched, more yield.. exactly what I did... just upgrade from the start. You could actually fit a 1000watt in there but you would need seperate ventilation for the cooltube like i am doing with my 600. But ya if u go with a 600 just do filter to cooltube to exhaust fan, you wont need intake.
