I've used those, but they are a bit yellow, however the growth is pretty darn good.

If you want a balance, look at the more expensive 50/50 coralife bulbs, they're 20w each (10w 10k and 10w actinic) and they look smashing, gorgeous color over my nano, and I get great growth from my softies, no real lps/sps outside of a small galazia and a few huge chunks of pipe organsm so I can't really comment other than to say I've got a tank with lots of growth and very solid color for over 7 months now.
