I have the Vipar 600w c2x4 and they call for that one to cover a 2'x4' area 24" above the canopy on it's own which it does... but the light is definitely more intense towards the center of the footprint in my 2'x4' tent. If you got two of them in the area you are looking at it could work out pretty well. I think the Vipars you are looking at right now would be undersized for the area you are looking at.

That is the light I have and if you were going Vipar I'd suggest two of those for a 4x4 area, possibly even 4 of the 300w for super good footprint coverage. I'm on my first run with the Vipar after being an HPS guy for 5 years now and I'm loving the results but I kind of wish I went with two slightly lower watt panels to cover the footprint better. No real complaints though, I'm just going to toss in two smaller LED's or CFL's on each side of the big light to get more coverage lol.

I can't comment on the Mars though, never used one....
