MH lights are typically used for vegging and HPS is used for flowering. I think however if you mixed the two during all phases of growth you will probably be giving the plants a nice wide spectrum of lighting and they should do well. If your room is big enough, it is well ventilated, you can afford the extra cost of the MH lights (which are more expensive than HPS watt for watt because they need to be replaced every 6 months) and the extra electricity in general; then I say go for it.

1.7 Meters is alnost 6feet right? Like vtec said if you can cool in your box and pay the extra money then do it., It can only help your plants.
