Best SE Bulb for 175W

I got a 2x175w MH retro used, and the bulbs are somewhere between 8 and 10 months old. I really want to replace them asap, but I want something that's not yellow (I've heard Ushio is) or purple (like the pictures of Reeflux look, even though I've never seen 175w Reeflux before). I want something with good PAR and either a crisp white or preferably a hint of blue (12-14k).
 
iwasaki 15k is about as crisp-white as they get. in the icecap forum there's a thread where someone compares them. Also xm 10k aren't too shabby
 
I'll look into that, thank you.

I've just been told Iwasaki is really yellow, never seen them in person. :)
 
I switched from the 175w 14k hamiltons to the 15k iwasakis about 2 months ago. They are the brightest bulb ive ever seen and a crisp crisp white with no yellow.
Ive noticed a lot more growth in my sps with them

The picture is blurry, but it will give you an idea of the color, and I have to say the color in the picture is pretty darn close to how it looks like in real life. (( running 2 of the iwasakis with 2*96 watt of PC ))
