Time to replace 250w SE MH bulbs...what would you use?

First off I do have 2x140w URI Super Actinic VHO for supplementation. I started out with Ushio and they worked fine but my last 2 sets were XM 10k and both color and growth were very good. I would like just a little more blue this time but not too much. I have not heard much good about the XM 15k and fear the 20k will be way too blue for my tastes.
I have seen Hamilton 14k advertised as well as a new Ushio 15k and Coralvue 12k.
Anyone have any experience with any of these or have any other suggestions? I plan to keep the actinics and may even switch over to 2 or 3 T-5s once I see the URI version in action for awhile.
