I have 2 TSW 2000s and love them. The Mars one is better because it has a higher wattage output, 310w vs the SF-2000 which only puts out 200w. With SF you will get a slightly better efficacy which is good, but not enough of a difference to matter. The SF-2000 covers a 2x4 area, while the MH TSW2000 covers a 3x3 area (in bloom, 4x4 in veg). If money isn't a concern, go with SF and get a couple of them, but MH is way better bang for your buck. You can use coupon Code WGC on MH website for a little discount too. If you check out viparspectra, they're probably the best but the most expensive too, use coupon code WGC888 for a discount (10% I think).

I hope I'll be clear , I'm at first grow , but probably same as you , looked everywhere for a best price/profit ratio , reviews , videos , pro , cons , prices , long term , short term . I did all of this too and I came to a conclusion I went for Mars-Hydro TS 1000(actually I bought the tent+light kit with no fan or exhaust) over the Spider farmer , but it was more a personal preference . Let me explain So first I was thinking of buying the TS 600 , at first were few reviews and no certain answers , but then found about TS1000 , which had the dimmable option (2020 one) , around 50-60$ more , but with a lot more reviews and grows , more "transparent" spectrum (i've been aware lately about bad reviews on TS600 and that PPFD is not what they claim and that there's no evidence about "official spectrum measurements" - but this is recently - got my lights 2 months ago ) I've came across on Spider-farmer , compared each others reviews , for days , hell maybe weeks , but can't really differentiate them , some say that the samsung diodes used on SF2000 are better than the ones on TSW2000 (or at least some say ) I've found that the prices on Ali-express are 10-15% even 20% lower than the ones on "official" websites . I've seen the sizes I needed and was perfect for my needs . My answer ? I went with Mars Hydro cuz of needs and budget , but I wouldn't change my mind on it . Spider farmer is around 20$ more than the Mars-hydro (or at least that was the prices back then) See what you need and compare , I've read so many diaries here that TS2000 or SF2000 are very slightly different

Consider size of lights if different and maybe later you can add another if the size is right ... or maybe one is more flexible to use in certain situations than other.. intangibles make a difference

You should study there independent reviews there's some good ones on YouTube that critics both and pros both but also trashed the mars hydro budget 600 version ... I can get you a link if you'd like ... if this helps don't forget to select my answer
