Your best bet is to see them in person. There are a lot of factors that can/will make the pictures look different online then they will in person. The white balance of the camera being a big one. I use 20K bulbs ( XMs, 250 watt ) and have a hard time getting the pictures to look just right, even with an adjustable white balance.
That being said, My 29 with 14K Phoenix bulbs ( 250 watt ) WIth flash,  WithOUT flash  58 with the 20K XMs Flash  NO flash
