A) I've been fairly involved with led fixtures for the last few years and I've never even heard of WYZM until this post. That alone would make me think long and hard about just who they are and how well will they support you after the purchase. And we won't even guess about the quality of the fixture.

B) The WYZM is about 50:50 white and blue. RB fixtures are much more blue, like 60:40 or even 70:30. With 50:50 fixtures you will run the blue channel much higher than the white channel. With the RB fixture you will be much closer to an even power level and won't push the blue channel as hard.

Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.
