I have those and like the color the best for supplimentation as well Dave. Jack over on the MTRC forum had terrible luck with them though. I think his first 2 bulbs were bad within a few weeks so something to watch out for. I also use ATI bulbs and like them quite a bit as well.

A couple of shorter threads with some good info on combinations:
