New grow room

I just got a new virtual sun 10x10x8 grow tent that I'm going to set up as my flowering room. It's going to be out in my garage and it doesn't get hot where I live even in the summer. (a hot day is 75-80). I'm trying to decide on running either 4 1000 watt or 6 600 watt lights. I'm running one 6" inline fan for ventilation. My friend at the local grw shop will sell me 6 600 watt lights with "batwing" type reflectors or 4 1000's with cool tubes+ reflectors for roughly th same price, with the 1000's being slightly more expensive. Both setups are all digital/switchable/dimable ballasts. Please help with any advice or comments u have as I'm trying to get this going soon because the girls in my veg room are getting huge. Thank in advance

use the cool tubes 600 watts are more effiecent for the wattage being used but its all about lumons and the 1000 just have more.the tent will have more options for you to use a single fan to start then if u were using 600s and batwings if you had a basement or were going to be using some hvac system like a split unit i would say go ahead. but in this case for the tent in the garage and one inline fan to start go with cool tubes or just regular reflectors air coold

How do 4x1000hps beat 6x600hps through lumens?
I think u maybe av wrong info
Op go with the 600s bro and buy a 8 inch to cool the lights using a 8 to a 6 inch downscaler should be enough pull from that to cool 6x600s no probs if your growin trees then obviously the 1000watters are needed but sog ot scrog use 600s!
