600 Watt High Pressure Sodium: Plantmax vs. PlusRite vs ? ?

I need to buy a 600 watt bulb for an HPS light, and a few replacement bulbs for old metal halide lamps.

1000Bulbs.com seems to have some really good prices. But - Plusrite vs. Plantmax ?

I'm more used to "Hortilux Eye" and (even before that) "Sonagra" bulbs, and plain old GE or Sylvania or Philips Metal Halide's.

The page for my choices -

The Plantmax has better specs, but worse reviews on their website.


At Amazon, people don't like Plusrite -

BulbsPro.com has mostly Plantmax, in different light bulb wattages ~

Hortilux Eye, $76. Worth it ?


Now there's "Ushio".

Anybody like their bulbs ?
