Ok--another bulb thread: EVC tech or Reeflux 12K

[6-line]

I am in the process of changing bulbs from the 14K hamiltons that are nearly a year old and have been juggling a couple different types. I have heard positive things about both of the bulbs I have listed--does anyone have any input? The choice are the EVC tech 14k, the Reeflux 14k and then the Hamiltons.

All are 250 watt on an m58 ballast.
Interested in medium growth rates but nice coloration.

Have you looked at Sanjay's page and JBNY's thread yet?

Yes, I have. I have seen the spectral analysis and such of some of those bulbs (the 12k hasn't been tested yet) but I'm looking for some more personal opinions from those who actually have seen the bulbs.
I'm looking for something that doesn't necessarily need the actinics but if they are used it doesn't make everything too blue. I just turned the acts back on with my hamiltons because they are near the end of their lifespan and have turned a bit whiter--I turned them off initially because it was way too blue...
