Time to replace HQI bulbs

I am currently running 250 watt aquamedics with 10K AB bulbs. I also supplement with 65 watt 420 and 460 nm compact bulbs. I have had outstanding growth on all my corals.
The question is should I risk trying another bulb? Its time to change them and I have herd good things about the 14K pheonix. I cant find the article , but I was thinking the PAR level was lower on the 14K pheonix compared to the 10K Aqualine bushke hqi's. Do you think I would gain that much color pop with the 14K to be worth giving up my growth?
