This is my tank with electronic ballasts. As you can see, I have no need to nit-pick over details like this ballast or that. The results are fine.
The point of using an m80 ballast with the 250w radiums is not really much for color to the eye but to make sure we get the proper life and par from the bulbs. On a m80 ballast a radium should last about 14+months with no significant drop in par, compared to under a year on a electronic ballast that will underdrive the bulb severely.
