Are you also assuming that in the shorted life span the spectrum remains constant? If the spectrum shifts earier you might be back in the boat rowing (replacing the bulbs). I had look into this and I finally decided to bite the bullet and just buy t5ho.(well the guys here help convince me on them over cpf(Thanks corykeeper and others). Basically you are just increaseing the current thru the bulb by using a different ballast. At one time I had located a website that stated max current but I do not remember it. I see if I can find it again.
