Aqualine Buschke or Ushio?

It's getting to be time for a new bulb. What is the difference between a 175 watt 10000K Aqualine Buschke bulb and a 10000K Ushio? Which would you recommend?

Thanks for the help,

Well I had a 250 aqualine that burnt out after about 8-9 months so replaced it with a ushio. They both have a nice color but the aqualine is cheaper.

Like Reefhead siad none really. The aqualine is actually like a 12-14K but cant really tell the difference. But if I remeber right and I could be wrong I heard that the aqualine lost its spectrum faster though.
