Default Which... 4300K or 6000k?

Im going to order the VVME kit soon, but I dont know which K color to go with... the 4300K or the 6000K... I want the color that will most match my friends IS300 lights. The consensus on AW seem to go with the 4300k.
Is the light output that much different between that and the 6000k?

I have heard that 4300k has the best light output, but 6000k looks the cleanest...

Default 5000k

Use this link. Same company as VVME... Not sure why they dont have 5000k on VVME website

I had both 4300 and 6000k from vvme.

4300- NO blue at all, just crisp clean white
6000- Hint of blue

i think 5000k would give me the best of both worlds... i might order a set of the 5000k bulbs just for the hell of it<ul><li><a href="http://www.mydepots.com">Click me</a></li></ul>

Default 4300K.

I think it looks the best, and best output.
If i'm not mistaken the 6000K are actually just 4300K bulbs with coloring on them.
