quantum boards setup opinions

I'm planing to setup a new grow tent, 80X80X200cm (2.6x2.6). which I'll use for growing two photoperiod plants in coco coir. I want to grow short plants , I'm not necessarily aiming for high yield but of course for quality yield. I want to go for QB and i have two options from two local shops. both have 120w and 240w with Samsung LM301H diodes,660nm ,730nm ,uv and IR , one is a mix of 3000k+3500k with 304 diodes, and the other is a mix of 2700k+4000k with 256 diodes, so one has more diodes then the other.
I'm debating which will be better for me ? will there be a significant difference at all?
the other thing is i probably need the 240w for this tent, but i thought of getting 2 X 120w for better light spread, will it really be beneficial? (put costs aside).
then i had the idea of mixing the two together , 1X120w 2700k+4000k and 1x120w 3000k+3500k. assuming both have kind of the same intensity. would it be a "better" spectrum or is it just a stupid idea?
I'm also planing to setup 2 X 2' T5 AgroMax Pure UV for a dosage of 1-2 hours UVA UVB every the day.
I'm going to run this setup through the winter and the tent will sit in a not so isolated room so i probably need the heat from the lights and the drivers and i probably need to heat the room too.
appreciate any opinions.

Thank you.

You might want to think about CMH too, especially since you want some heat. I have both. The CMH puts out frostier nugs, but the QB's make denser buds.
