MH opinions

It's time to renew my MH bulbs again and am just looking for some opinions. At the moment I am running two DE 150W 10000K Venture bulbs on my 65G (18 in deep). I am considering buying BLV 14000K bulbs because I prefer a bluer look and cannot supplement with atinic tubes because of my open to tank, but am not sure how much growth rate I will lose.

I'm using 2x250w 14k BLV's and I find the growth rates to be just fine. I've always used the 14k bulbs so I have nothing to compare against, I also run a 1x150w 20k to help the blue end as I have no room for atinics.
