um I am not sure of a manufacturer than makes both 6500 and 10000K but I imagin the 6500K would be a little higher, it depends on the spectrum they use to create the average of 6500K.

for what its worth I wouldent worry about the difference of PAR between a 6500 and a 10K as the 10K is a proven color in lots of tanks and at 250 watts should give you enuff PAR for anything.
