Green (500-530nm) mostly cancels whites but i'm using cyan(490nm) which has a slightly high rate of absorption for that. So, i'm comfortable with keeping that out.

I think I also agree on the warm white. Though, it will help with reducing an over all windex coloration.

Yeah, i've been toying with swaping chips for several years now. Not a big deal.
The warm whites in 2500-6500 have plenty of red and green spectrum in them. Having the red and green leds imo will just add to blending issues aka disco effect.
