I would bite the wallet and go with the PFO VHO's and get better color and more wts. per bulb and when it comes time to replace the bulbs it's less money out of your pocket. The 4 bulb set-up is a top notch set-up and you will have 440wts. instead of 260wts. and the bulbs don't cost you as much. JMO

why not t5's instead? They don't have to be replaced as often and the bulbs are very cheap.

I would go with 10k's. You already have plenty of actinic. You should get better growth.
