Hey there.
I run 4 65 watt pc bulbs on my reef, 2 50/50's and 2 10,000k's. As an experiment, I put both 50/50's on one side and both 10,000k's on the other after reading your post. What I found was the light level appears to be very close for light intensity, slight edge to the 10,000k side but the colours on the 50/50 side are far, far better. the contrasts are great and the corals more pronounced.
The 10,000k side seems greenish/yellowish and quite washed out. the corals don't really stand out.

Now when I have a split of both on each side, that is the most pleasing lighting to me for my reef. I'll take a picture for you of the lighting I set up and the experimental lighting, but the camera interface cable has been missing for a few days so it may take me awhile to post the pic.
