How bad or good are these grow tents? (homebox. etc)

I really want to pick up a 4x4

and google is spitting up WAY too much varying info about every manufacture

i was really really leaning towards the homebox XL (the original kind with white lining)

as ebay has some really good deals... (190 shipped) or locally for 137 for a used one

but all the reviews are one big war against homebox, sunhut, secret jardin, and the new growlab

out of everything Im seeing, the homebox is the cheapest one... but is it really worth spending almost a 100$ extra on the other brands?

Im not too anal about light leakage as long as it doesnt affect the flowering, most are saying that it is only leaking light out... it barely brings light into the box.

but what about sturdyness?... will it hang a aircooled reflector, fan, filter, ducting, ballast?

gimme some pros and cons please


thank you

I got this tent: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330363574990&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Although the measurement says 2x4x5 it's actually 4x2x5. I don't think he has any on sale that is 4x4x4 but they have the one I bought and 4x4x6. So far I have a 14lb inline exhaust fan hanging from it and have had no issues. The frame is metal and the corners are plastic but it's very sturdy. In a week or two I'll have a 240w HPS hanging and I don't see having any issues. As for light getting in I got in it and zipped it up and it was completely pitch black. With the lights on the zipper area glows white but I don't think that much light gets out there. Hope this helps
