HLG 550 or something else

Setting up my first 5x5 tent and can't make up my mind on weather to get the hlg 550 V2 ( I can get it for $550 through my job) or get something else like two mars hydro TSW2000. I can also OD and get the new hlg 650 but that's double the price. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Which 550? The Rspec or the ECO one?

I was definitely leaning towards the hlg my only concern was the size but I feel more confident about it now with a second opinion. Thank you.
It's just too good of a deal to pass up if you ask me. I'd seriously put one on a credit card right now for that price and like I said I don't need lights, or need to spend anymore $ on them, lol.

If you lived close I'd have you get one for me too.

I’d go with the hlg probably. I was going to buy the 550 v2’s but at the last moment pulled the trigger on the 650r’s.
I was originally trying to get a deal on that one but they weren't having it. I would pay retail price for it if I didn't have the 550 deal on the table. It's an outstanding light but definitely doesn't have anywhere near double the performance of the 550 to merit the price difference i would be paying for it.

I'd take the awesome deal HLG is gonna give you now. You're probably getting lucky too since they're phasing the 550 out, and just keeping the 600. Your a lucky man if you ask me.

And like I said if you're in CO you can get one for me too, lol.

It is indeed a great deal. I'm a little concerned now because I just checked the HLG website to answer your question about the model and it currently says out of stock. I'm not getting it directly from HLG so hopefully I can still get it this Friday.

Haha man you got me hyped up I'm ready to call this man's house at 1am to buy a light. Lol. And of course they're closed tomorrow for Thanksgiving so I have to wait until Friday.
