I appreciate your insight, input, especially since you're a former CHE user yourself.

If I was building just one or two cages I'd go with an RHP, and still might sometime in the future. But right now the up-front cost savings outweigh any other benefits, to me, at least. Since I won't be using a special light fixture the CHE setup cost is $150 cheaper per cage. Multiply that by 8 and it adds up wuickly.

Yeah, I understand the energy savings but I personally feel that they'll just balance out over the time that I'll need/have the setups. I'm almost 50, not 21, so I won't give a hoot if an RHP or CHE is still working in 50 years, when I'm 100 yrs old. Ha! Ha! (I'm just joking around, not meaning that to sound hasty or sarcastic.)

Seriously, though - you make a valid point, I'm just tired of thinking about it and not sure where this next idiotic President is gonna take this country.

Thanks a lot!
