Default hamilton MH bulbs?

Its that time of year again, time to part with whatever money I've gotten for Christmas and throw it at my fish tank in the form of replacement bulbs. I need 3 250W SE MH bulbs. I usually go with 10K Ushios but, damn, they're pricey! So currently I'm looking at something cheaper. I see JL has Hamiltons for $60 (will be cheaper Boxing Day likely). Anyone run these? I'm looking at the 10k ones, not such a fan of the blue look as I thought I was.

Or other decently priced bulbs? I tried the ebay ones already, the 14K color shifted on me after about 3 months and I wasn't impressed (although for the price I could probably order them 3-4 times a year). Would rather go with a brand name
