Need advice - Electric Sky 180 v 300

I am about to upgrade my existing (blurple) king led 2000k (1) and 1000 (1) watt LED lights with the electric sky 180 or 300.

I'm growing in a 2 by 4 x 5 ft tent and generally do two to three plants only at a time.

My question is is does anyone have experience with the 180 verse of the 300? Obviously more wattage equals better buds but wondering how significant a jump from the 180 to 300 would be in a 2 x 4 x 5 ft tent.

Honestly I'm already growing some pretty damn good and dense buds with the lights I have and probably don't need to spend $700 on a single 300 watt light but I would like the intensity control of the ES, slightly cooler temps with tent sealed (in tbe mid 80s now sealed) and also the Wider footprint.

First 5 to respond get a free e-high five!

Tale of the tape
ES 180 size, 2ft x 1ft , 384 diodes, 180 watts - 22.5 watts per sq ft. Weak sauce.
ES 300 size, 3ft x 1ft , 720 diodes, 300 watts - 37.5 watts per sq ft. Sweet.

The ES 300 all day long! Perfect.

King led 2000 is 380 watts and the 1000 is 185 watts totaling 560 watts!
So the ES 300 at 300 watts will be cooler too.

Now, just send me all 5 of the hi fives plus a large cheque to my address .......!

Haha love it!!! All that said then would it be worthwhile to stick with my kings die to higher wattage???!

The 2 x kings are providing 70 watts per sq ft.
You need 50 watts Min with those burple type lights which you have.
With ES light types you only need 30 watts + per sq ft. Saving you 260 watts on your electric over the kings and less heat.
They aren't very efficient lights.
