12K vs 14K

[FishinAround]

I'm needing to do the first bulb replacement in my 150W MH HQI. Current bulbs are Phoenix 14K. Will I notice much difference in going to a 12K bulb. It's a 120g tank with 2x150 MH along with two 2x65w PC's that are the 50/50 10k/actinic? Is there much difference in the brands of bulb or is a Hamilton 150w 14k bulb the same as Phoenix bulb?

It's magnetic ballasts. Is there that big of a difference between the Phoenix 14K and a Current or Coral Life 14K?
