So you are reccomending 500mW red, 200 Green, and 100Blue? Why, that's only $2500 there!

No, the green is at the END of the list of numbers. Everything is referenced to Green, because that's the peak of the eye's sensitivity. So the 4.6 : 2.4 : 1 example is 4.6 Red, 2.4 Blue, 1 Green
So using your example, you want 500 mw red, 200 mw BLUE, 100 mw green. And yeah, it gets expensive! That's why most people don't have perfect color balance... It costs too much!

Many I'll just keep a RGY for now and buy the blue when I have another $3000. :P

Would 400mW red 100mW green make a decent RGY? I thought it should be more equal with the RGY.

Yes, it will look just fine at 4:1. If you have extra green then your yellow will look more like "chartreuse." With the proper amount of green (and lots of red) you can make beautiful oranges and yellows. With too much green it overpowers the red and you get greenish-yellow baby shit.
If you're interested, have a look at this chart from Sam's Laser FAQ for the details of the human eye's color response.
Does anybode know where marconi is? I have send a few pm`s to him, but no answer!

Marconi is recuperating from back surgery, so he's probably not hanging out online as much for a while!

You must have missed my original post... Here is a fragment from it (bold added):
So yes, for perfect balance when using 660 nm red you need more of it. Likewise, if you are using 635 nm red you need less. The rest of my earlier post lists a few popular color ratios when using 660nm red and 473nm blue.
But, again - good color balance is what looks good to you. So long as you are close, that's probably just fine. Don't get too caught up on being perfectly balanced. (Your software should be able to tweak the balance anyway.)
