Looks like they are all 20K too - unfortunate

looks like he's in the process of setting up his own website and building stock. he said it the RC link that you could email him directly and i think he has access to a lot more than what's on ebay.

Do a search for an ebay store called Lights64. Thats where I got my 14K 175watt MH bulbs from (he's got other bulbs too). I haven't had them on over the tank yet cause it's not set up but I did fire them up to have a look and they looked pretty good to me. The cost worked out to be about $40 bucks a bulb.

I bought one of the 10K 175watt ReefOptics bulbs. It's pretty yellow compared to the same spec Hamilton bulb. 14K or 20K might be worthwhile though.
