Default Venture VS Ushio

I need to replace my 250W SE 10K bulbs ( currentley running ushio) PFO ballast. I also run VHO actinics.

On a number of internet sites the Venture is the same as Ushio? yet there is an obvious price difference. Is there a difference?

What is your opinion of the Venture bulbs?

Venture did not have a good reputation a couple years back and I have not heard anything about them sence .. I actualy thought they went out of business or something.

They talk on aquaria canada how venture makes their own 10000K which is said to be in the 13000 range - as well as manufacturing the 13K MH lamps for a reputable brand. Some people really seem to like them.
