radiums and lumatek dimmable

I am currently running 2x250w radiums and I have the new lumatek dimmable ballast 250-super lumens. I need to get new bulbs and I want to stick with the radiums. Does it make any sense to get the 250s anymore? They are the same price as the 400w radiums. I figure I can just dim the 400w down and that would be the same as having 250's. But with the ability to crank it up if need be. My tank is a 75 SPS dominant. I Would just like other peoples input.

The 400W underdriven is really blue. I have the lumatek ballast that has the 250 to 400 W HQI and the 250HQI looks very blue.
Stick with the 250s
