However, you might have some mounting issues with the different length of T5 bulb and the fact that you'll have to somehow get a second endcap in there.

I'm not sure if the swap would be worth the cost. The vast majority of the light would still come from the halide lamp as without properly designed T5HO reflectors (e.g. Icecap SLR), you won't get as much of an improvement over the PCs as you would like.

Further, if you just want better actinic lighting, simply buying a T5 strip light would be more cost effective and wouldn't have to rip into the fixture.
