250 Watt DE 14K Reeflux (Good or Bad)?

Ho to all,
I'm considering getting a new Reeflux bulb. I have a mixture of LPS and SPS. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Joel

i have a single ended 14k reeflux. colorwise it is just a tad bit whiter than my XM 20k DE. it really helps some of the greens POP though.

I have them. Went from 10k xm's to the reeflux, alittle bluer then the 10k's, not too blue I think. The tank seems dimmer to look at, don't know about par. I have 4- 72" vho actinics on the tank also, when I change in May I'll be going back to xm's. I had good growth and the color was nice with the 4 actinics. Are you supplementing the MH with anything?

The answers I got when I inquired about the Reeflux's were that they aren't terribly bright.
