I would line up 240w QB's. You could get away with 5 of them, but I would put in 6 and aim to run them around 80% of capacity. I like 1 meter systems, as it's how far people can reach. 2 meters if there is access from each side.
The 240w QB is a manageable size and a high sales volume item. I buy direct, where it's the most cost effective size in terms of light per dollar because of this.

Or at the other end, we have the gavita bar light at about 380w. Three of them would be nice.

You should also look at Mars who will be along any moment.

A look at Migro shouldn't be missed either. The guy behind them, Shane, hides nothing. He is putting his face to his product in many youtube video's. Putting lights side by side and doing the tests we want to see. Though a few manufacturers have denied him access to their kit, for obvious reasons. He has some proper professional stuff.

What do you think about GeekBeast 630w PRO or
geeklight monster board pro 7200

I don't know them, but do hear the name. I tend to look at King Brite on there. Similar stuff.
I like the 288 boards myself. You can change them at the 4 year mark. About 35$ a piece. That common design gives me confidence I can fix/upgrade them at any time.
