Jeff,
which MH bulbs are you running? The blueplus T5s really complement 10K bulbs (Ushio, AB etc.), that don't have a spike at 450 nm. For higher K bulbs that have the spike at 450 nm (ie Radiums), the VHO actinics would be a better choice.
Then there are the DE Aqua Connect/Phoenix, which many people feel don't need supplementing.
If you want to get the most fluorescense out of your corals, the VHO actinics are the way to go.

FWIW, I currently use 4 T5 Blue+, and I think I am going to try replacing 2 of them with VHO actinics, so I will have 2 of each. I love the look of the T5s, but I don't get as much fluorescence out of some of the corals (and others have more fluorescence than VHO's - it's hit or miss).
