Which lighting do you like more?

150 watt MH, 14000k Phoenix or 14000k Ushio. The Ushios haven't burned in yet.
Phoenix,


Ushio,

IME, the entire line of Ushio's are way too white. Their 14K looks like many 10K bulbs. They do produce good growth but need a ton of supplementation to get a blue enough look for my liking.
