Default Coral life MH Bulb Quality

I was initially going to upgrade my lighting but for now decided to keep my Aqualight Pro 150 HQI fixture after deciding that I am going to stick with softies and LPS. However, I am going to upgrade my bulbs as I am very dissapointed with the rapid spectrum shift. Can anyone recomend a good 10K, 13k or 14K 150HQI bulb that wont be prone to premature color shifts like the coralife.

Also, can anyone comment on the quality of the coralife ballasts? would it be worth upgrading to Icecap?

I've heard very good reviews on Phoenix 14000k & Reeflux 10000k.

And I have had good success with the Gieseman 14500K Coral bulb.
