Just an update, but the bulb has started to really whiten up. Don't see any blues yet, but the original yellow burn-in color is subsiding. That is normal from what I hear from other fellow reefers with experiencing this bulb.
If you don't want to pay for shipping, you can get this bulb from reefgeek.com but it's marketed as Ushio:
