Default T-8 fluorescents to grow Tomato babies?

I am in NYC-Zone 6B and our last day of frost for spring is April 12th. (Am I reading the chart right - for 32degrees?)

This is my first time starting from seed - I was thinking of starting next weekend. In all I would be growing them for 8 weeks until April 12th. I was going with the wire restaurant shelving with four T-8 fluorescent tubes per shelf.

Will this be okay? Or will the plants be too leggy by the time I put them out after 8 weeks?
