3x4 is a meter that you haven't been lighting optimally. With today's lighting you want a pair of 240w units. That's outside your budget but nothing like what you are used to. To simply replace yours with that budget you could get a single 240w unit. It will be brighter than what you have, though still only half of whats needed to grow a 3x4 canopy to primo standards.
The only choice is kingbrite in my opinion. You will be closing in on $200 delivered but that's a nice QB made using a couple of 288 led boards filled with Samsungs Lm301 leds. With a Meanwell driver. Nice heatsinks and good hardware. There is a tiny bit of assembly work to do but really nothing much.
I wouldn't buy anything else. It's the right parts. The same lights are made with inferior parts with a USA sticker and raved about at over double the price. Not a thread goes by without the USA version getting recommended. This one being no exception. However Samsung are as American as Honda.
If you really can't clip a few wires together then MARS assemble the correct LED's and Drivers the cheapest. I'm not familiar with their mounting hardware, but people seem happy enough.
