Who carries Blue Wave 7 ballast

I am looking all over the place but no one seem to be offering single Blue Wave 7 250w ballast; only the dual 250w ballast. Does the Blue wave 7 only come in dual mode? What's the primary difference between a Blue Wave 7 and Blue Wave 2 or Blue Wave 3?
 
Blue Wave 1 is a single Pulse Start (PS) ballast. Blue Wave 2 is a dual Pulse Start (PS) ballast. The 250-watt PS ballast is only really recommended for the Aqualine AB Single-Ended (SE) lamp but will operate other SE lamps.

Blue Wave 3 is a single HQI ballast. Blue Wave 7 is a dual HQI ballast. The 250-watt HQI ballast is really only designed for use with European Single-Ended (SE) and almost every Double-Ended (DE) lamp made.
 
So there is no difference between a Blue Wave 3 and a Blue Wave 7 other than the fact that one is single and the other is dual?

Btw, the bulb in question I want to fire is Radium 250w 20k
 
So out of curiosity, other than the 250w Radiums, what are other popular bulbs that the Blue Wave 3 will burn to spec and support?

Aquaconnect 14,000K
Aqualine AB 10,000K
BLV Nepturion 10,000K
