In a couple of mounts I'll be upgrading my room to a 2,4x1,2 (Gorilla hopefully) and I plan to make a CXB 3590 system. I've read some SupraSPL stuff and Realstyles also... this is how I ended up on Rollit 
... but I'm tick headed unfortunately so much has gone by. So I need to cover half of the tent, other half I have it coverd with a china and a XGS190. It will just be for flowering, I'll build another for vege, later maybe. Ok, main concern is heat and noise... At first I planned to do 4cxb + 1mw 1.400/.700, realstyles ... style, but than I saw at SupraSPL that if adding a bunch of chips to the same driver it will get you less heat, like 8cree + 1 mw 700. Now this is more interesting, 2x the $$ but heat is my issue here. In the other hand realstyles uses a dimmer... isn't that the same thing but more "professional" or is there a difference?

(8 ) CXB3590 3500K CD @ 700mA (23W ea) $380
(1) HLG-185H-C700 $65
Wouldn't the first option, dimmed at half match the second, or something like that?
