I think it's priced okay for what it is, it's just stupid to buy a 2ft bulb unless you really only have 2 feet.
And unless power or heat is an issue, metal halide are at least half the price, and can be 1/10th-1/20th the price. Figure a $200 1000 watt MH covers at least 25 square feet, you'd need $2,000+ to do that with T5's.

I believe sprial cfl are the way to go. I could fit up to 14 26-watt sprials in a 3ft long space. At 2,800 lumens each. 14 x 2,800 = 39,200 lumens. Not even 70 bucks
