Feedback on lighting choice

I've been using 2 coral-life 65k 175wt MH bulbs and 2-40wt actinics over my 75. Tank includes a bubble coral, open green brain, hammer, frogspawn, and candy cane that has grown so much I stocked most of the rest of the tank with frags I've traded. Also have some xenia, green star, and some yellow polyps.

I may want to add some type of clam, but have not done my homework in that department.

Now for the question. It's time to buy new bulbs. I've read enough of your criticisms of the coral life that I'm thinking about something different.

Would you please weigh in on your recommendation:

(a) 10K Ushio bulbs -or-
(b) 65K "German Bulbs" Which I've not hear of in 175 wt but I saw advertised at drsfostersmith.com

Thanks
Tom. G
