Have to agree, 10K halides with actinic gives great results on all fronts. Better growth and nice colours. At the end of the day however it is personal preference as to what look you want.

Always kept SG at 1.026 - 1.0265. SPS always appeared well at this level as long as it was kept stable. I think the stability is more important than a slight variation to what is the 'perfect' SG...
