Anyone here have an old 250 watt Radium SE bulb that I can test out?

I'm currently running a 400 watt SE radium on my sps dominated setup and was considering swapping it out with a 250. I'm fairly happy with the coloration and growth I'm getting with the 400 watter but would like to experiment to see if I can get deeper colors with a 250. Anyone here have a old 250 watt SE radium bulb laying around that I can borrow for a couple of days just to test it out. I just want to make sure I'm happy visually with the bulb before making the purchase for a new one. Some feedback would be nice too :).....thanks!
 
Thanks for the heads up. I guess no one here uses 250 SE radiums.........not even one person with input on these bulbs?
 
I switched to two 250W radium with lumenarc mini on icecap ballasts on my 120G setup about 3 months ago, and they are by far the best bulbs I had. I never used any 400W so can't compare here, but mine gives out very nice bluish white colors, and it is brighter than all my previous bulbs (Reeflux 10k, Reeflux 12k, Helio 20k, ...). I think I am committed for the rest of this hobby :).
