12K vs 10K Metal Halides?

[aquarookie]

One of my tanks under PC lighting looks awesome (220watts daylight and actinic bulbs) my other tank under MH (2, 250watt 10K) looks -alright-. I am about to replace my bulbs. What type of bulbs give the best "photographic" appearance? 10K,12K,20K,etc...?

20k's(depending on brand) are blue to appearence.10k's are from white -yellow.

I'm about to change my mh bulbs too...heard that 14k was pretty good. I think I'm going with that

I am using 14k Hamiltons and I really like the look compared to the 10k.
