I would invest that money into environmental hardware: AC, dehumidifier, humidifier, heater, CO2 generator and a controller for all the new goodies. Every aspect of a successful grow will come back to the environment. Here are some examples of why I suggest this...

A 1000 watt light wont help if you cannot control heat.
The plant can develop bud rot if humidity is too high during flower.
CO2 absorption through the stomata will be reduced if temps/humidity are not close to optimal
Some nutrients can be locked out if soil is too cold.

The list goes on and on. That is why the environment is the most important aspect.

With 3 X 600 watt HPS, you should be able to harvest at least 2.5 LBS at .6 grams per watt.

Just how much are you wanting to harvest?

Then I would follow the guy above said. Your environment is just as important as your light intensity. With 1800w of light, I'd say you're doing fine in that department. Go with the environmental control so you can really see the yields those lights can produce.
