I purchased an Advanced platinum P300. It's working great. It sounds like this or the next step up is for you. Very little heat, good coverage, plants love it. I have 2 of kush autos and 1 c99 and 1 headband under it. The autos are ready in about 1 week, the others end of August. Works every bit as well as my old 400wtt gavita.
 
I'm currently using 2 - 600 Watt Vipaspectra's in my 4'x8'x7' Tent. I have 25 plants growing under them & most (18 - 20) of them are doing really well but a few not so good. I think the one's not doing so good are due to me leaving the humidifier on too much as I reached 85% R.H. It's back down near 65% & the plants are looking better. I'm not going to make a final judgement on the Viparspectra LED's just yet...but I will say you have to raise them higher than the manufacturer suggests.
I would use 1 - 600 watt LED & 4- 28 Watt LED Spotlights in the corners for side lighting in a 4'x4' Tent. 2 Clip on Fans, a 6" 500CFM Fan & Carbon Filter & you're good to go.
 
If you want a good deal on Black Dog look at Craigslist Phoenix. There's a guy selling 5 of them at a good price. Maybe you can work it out. Just type in grow light & you'll see them.
