Default MH bulb differences

so i'm looking to replace my hamilton 250w 14k DE bulb with a 10k and noticed a fair difference in price between the hamilton bulbs and the ushio bulbs. any diff other than cost?? the ushio is about a $30 more but is it worth it and why?

Default ushios

alot of these bulbs are subjective and based on your "eye" appeal.
However, Ushios have a good reputation to give a crisp whitish blue color but there are some stories of bad batches here and there. Overall, ushios are good bulbs but in price comparisons, I like XM's and find them just as nice as ushios.
btw- i use 10k for reference in my opinions above because just I know somebody will jump in and start disputing the various qualities and prices of bulbs based on their own experiences - like i said, its all subjective to personal taste.
