Thinking of replacing lighting with Reefbrites strips

Hi,

I was considering switching my existing lighting up and adding some Reefbrite strips.

My current lighting is as follows:

--2, 175Watt MH lights - 14,000K Single ended Phoenix bulbs. On for 4 hour per day.
--2, 54Watt T5 bulbs - 1 ATI Blue plus bulb and 1 ATI purple plus bulb). Both on for 12 hours per day.

I am keeping mostly LPS and soft corals with a few low light SPS (Montipora Digitata).

The color spectrum is a little bluer than I'd like but overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

I was considering doing one of the following:

1. Replace my MH lighting with 2, 48 inch Reefbrites
2. Replace my T5 lighting with 2, 48 inch Reefbrites

Which would you recommend and which combination of Reefbrite strips would you recommend to get approximately the same color spectrum (about 14K).

Thanks,

Andy
