Hi,
I think you'll find that the T5 and T8 overdriving are about the same. I am not sure what the fuse is about though... They produce more or less the same amount of light...where T5 has a slight advantage with efficiency and lifetime.
I would wait for the T5 stuff to settle down and make it in to the regular lighting stores. The technology is still relatively new and there is a premium tagged on to new technology. 6500K T5 were make available to US market this summer. Actinics are currently only available in Europe.
