I like the second picture. I dont have a lot of experience with MH bulbs, so not much other advice other than how it looks!

I started with 2x250w XM10K and (for me) they were a bit yellow and like you my LPS did not like them. I ended up going to 14K hammies. My SPS are fine under the 14K growing like weeds!!!. and my LPS are happy.

Could you rescape a bit abd create shaded areas for the LPS?
