I always use dual spectrum's when flowering and vegging actually.
Think of it this way. The sun is constantly changing and during the summer you get that nice bright light hence 6500k bulbs and as fall approaches the sun slowly moves to a mellow red spectrum the 2700k bulbs. But you gotta remember that the sun does not provide just solely 2700k when plants are flowering it also has some blues in it as well. The sun is the best dual spectrum light ever
So yes your plants will love you for a wider spectrum.
When I flower I use a 3:1 ratio for my spectrum.

If its a photo plant then you can flower it at whatever height you want. Just remember it's going to double it's height. So say you flower it at 12" it will reach appx. 2ft. You get the picture.
If it's an auto then you have no choice.

Make sure you also account for distance between light and canopy. You don't want to burn your tops braddaIMO indicas flower shorter, but double is about right.

I have always used flourescent and hps in the past, but now am trying 100% cfl. I have done alot of reserch and q and a sessions with people. my findings are lights in the higher kelvin range (4500k-6500k or higher) are best for vegging. lights in the lower 2700k and 3000k are better for flowering, but as giggles said, you can and will benifit from a full spectrum, but concentrating mostly on the 2700k spectrum.
