I personally prefer "Atinic blue" it is a brighter blue that shows up better to the eyes and makes the tank look better IMHO.

I always use one 10K and one Atinic blue.

Are you happy with how your tank and corals "look". If the color is OK then stick with what you had before. If you are trying to get more light into the tank for more growth, then maybe a new bulb combo can be used. The ones you selected seem like they would give out a whole lotta blue light and not so much usable light for the corals (3 to 1, actinic to daylight).
