tek t5 or MH

I am trying to figure out whether I should stay with MH or switch to Tek T5. Currently, I have a 100 gal take running (2) 250w Hamilton reef star MH fixtures w/ 14,000k HQI. Everything seems to be doing fine. My only problem is that i am not satisfied with the colors of my SPS. They are not turning brown, but they also do not have the bright colors i desire. I've looking into Sunlight Supply's line of Tek T5 fixtures. It is (48"L x 15"W), with (6) rows of lamps. Will Tek's bulbs help magnify my colors as well as maintain my SPS growth or will I be better off running my Hamilton's?
