Coralife bulbs

I am not happy with the 150watt 14k Coralife bulb (it looks like crap IMO). Looking for someone that is running the 20k bulb, pics would be awesome. What are your thoughts/opinion on the 20k bulb?

I ran the Coralife 150w 20k DE's for the past 12 months and liked the look but disappointed in my growth...the first 3 months they were awesome and looked great, lots of luster and a nice blue/white...now they look like crap to me and I'm on the hunt for replacements with higher PAR ratings like AB 13K or XM's...I guess that you would have plenty of PAR with 20K in your sized tank, so for asthetics only, they are ok IMO...you can see some shots in my red house from most recent to oldest...
