What HQI = 4 ATI Blue+ and 4 Aqua Blue Special

What 250watt HQI bulb would you recommend for good PAR and a bright crisp color with a slight blue tint to it? Perhaps something analogous to 4 ATI Blue Plus and 4 ATI Aqua Blue Special.

i looked for the exact same thing when i was choosing my bulb, the combo i like best to replicate that would have been 20k ushio with galaxy ballast as that would not make it too white, but i ended up going for phoenix on galaxy ballast as i wanted more par, i just miss 420 spectrum that i would have gotten with the ushio, if i don't upgrade to t5's i will be changing the bulb to ushio 20k to see if i like it better.
