Atrium has some 4ft kits that include drivers. Cost about the same as sourcing everything yourself. That said, I have a DIY strip light using Bridgelux 3500k strips. Built it before all these other options were available. Works amazing veg and bloom. I've hit 3g per watt with 3 autos in a 32"x32" space.

I hear ya, and if it works for you, Awesome!
I loved my HPS before I went to LED, and I've only recently found LED's that are worth 2 shits.
But now I could never be convinced to go back, even in a commercial setting. LED's are getting too cheap and efficient, and HID's have sort of stayed the same for years.
Best of luck to you in your grows, it sounds like you do pretty well.
