Default MH bulb replacement question

I have a three month old Current USA, Outer Orbit light with 2 150w 10k MH and 4 39w T5 (2 blue /2 white) over my 65 gal (36x18x22h) SPS reef tank.

I don't like the brownish tint the 10k light puts in my tank. I’ve seen a comparison of 10k, 14k and 20k in tanks at a LFS and they all look significantly different (progressively better as you go up in k).

Before I order replacement bulbs I would like a second (3rd, 4th, 5th.... ) opinion.

Should I go with 20k and deal with the reduced par or should I go with a 14k with a higher blue output like a Phoenix?

Thanks
