50/50 Actinic+Daylight PC bulbs?

Hi all - I have 2x65w 10K and 2x65w Actinic PC lights over my 90g. This morning, I was messing with the lights and just had the actinics on (daylights were off) and noticed my zoas just POP with color. Once I turned the daylights on it mostly washed the actinic lights out and the colors looked drab again. So I figured I needed to get more actinic lighting.

Since I only have slots for four bulbs in my fixture, the only way I can get more actinic light and still have daylight is by using one of those 50/50 Actinic+Daylight bulbs. Would this be a good compromise with my lights and still give me the pop that I saw with the actinics?

Thanks!
