A 2 x 96 will tend to be more tempermental than lower light levels --
this would be the racecar model, following Tom's analogy -- fast
(grower) but easier to wreck and they they really crucnh when they
wreck.
You have other options, e.g., 1x96 plus 1x55, which would be closer to
about 4/gallon, still a very fast sports car.
2x55 would be about 2.7 watts/gallon, not a sports car but not a slug
either; reasonably tame
