Lighting question - ushio

Ok so I'm veging with (1)400w and (1)1000w (1000 dimmed to 600, using a 600w bulb...prob 1k is overkill for veg :-/)

My 1000w dimmable has a new 600w digilux mh in it (wanted ushio)

I need to replace the light in my 400w.

The ushio mh opti blue is $75
The 400w ushio hps is $48

I know the hps has more lumen output, and 400w isn't much... Should I use the hps increasing the different light spectrum in the room as well as utilizing the most lumens from a Low watt setup at almost 40% off cost, or buy the mh because that's what plants in veg like.

I use a 1000 for veg and flower. ushio is a great bulb, I used it for my last 2 grows. I now use the eye hortilux, I cant tell the difference
