10,000 K or 14,000 K Hamilton

Guys I been using the 175 watt 10,000 Hamilton 10,000 for 15 months and its time to get new bulbs, this is only on a fish only system. I was thinking of trying out the 14,000 K hamiltons, any experience with the 14,000 K hamiltons? This will be running on a magnetic ballast. Any pics or suggestions would be helpful. Or would it be better to buy the 10,000 K hamilton true germans again.

well, we just got 3 175W 14k hamis for our store display- the light is a coralife retro kit which mag ballasts....

the 14k's all look really nice- but are alarmingly blue - dont know if this a new bulb thing or what- but they def were blue- more so than my DE phoenix 14k i used to have.
