I went with 6000K drop in replacement bulbs from Vvme (I got a deal on some through my Matrix fourm for $50 shipped). They are cheaper than your Ebay site.
Thanks. Yeah, your price beats ebay. Do you mean to say that 10000K is not as bright as 6000K? I didn't know that. I gotta do more research ... googling ... I guess > 6000K is "bluer".
