Quick question...leaving for the store NOW

Anyone have any suggestions as to what mh bulb I should switch to? I have 2 150 watt DE 10000k's right now. I want around 14000k, but don't know the difference between hamilton, ushio, xm etc. I've seen 13000k and 15000k bulbs and wasn't sure what those look like either. I want to try and maintain decent sps growth, and have 4 t5 actinics that supplement. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is the phoneix more blue than the xm? Even though the xm is 15k, I heard they burned whiter?
