I have been running XM 10K's for the last several years and recently changed to the XM 14K and the colours on my SPS have changed significantly. The 14K's are about half as bright as the 10K but the colours in my SPS have taken off. it may be to soon to tell but it may come down to growth vs. colour. My 2 cents!

I second your comment. I went from a 10k XM to a 14k XM and also saw a great deal of color changes. I saw much deeper and brighter colors throughout my system. The downside was that I got a lot of blue and purples.

What kind of color changes did you see?

I like my 14k Aqua Connects, had 10k Ushio before but seemed to yellow out fairly early. All this based on SE bulbs though.
