$300 for 240's is a deal. Hell $600 for the HIDs is a deal. If your ever saw those things at night...you know where the money goes. You will blind everything in your way and see for a mile at least. Buddy has 240 HIDs on his rhino, and they are almost too bright. You get what you pay for. Save your money for Light Force.
Dude you wont break them and you wont ever buy another pair of lights. Drop the hammer and buy em!

I would love to convert mine to HID - not for the light output so much as the lower draw ... even with an upgraded alternator I'm kinda paranoid about all the stuff I run off the electrical system...
As for cost - you have to consider lifetime cost of ownership. You WILL break glass lenses. You WILL NOT break the Lightforce lenses - I broke a reflector once, but from hitting a rock pretty hard. Called up Sierra Expeditions and he had a replacement in the mail the next day (prices for replacement parts are on the website).

Strong how? Not that it matters, because the answer is Lightforce.
I used to run PIAA and will never go back. Their poop-poor customer service, lack of availability of replacement parts, and need for replacement parts (glass lenses suck) drove me away forever.

The beam pattern is exceptional, and customizable - they focus like a Maglite. Lens covers are available for further optimization and protection.
