You may want to go white as possible rather than blue.. so colour temperature is important the MTECS I had were COSMOS BLUE or 4750k. See the chart below. The Hoens are around 4000K from memory. A picture of the Hoens from their website is also attached.
If you want to match the Xenon's you need to go to 6000k or 8000k lums. Don't go over 8700k because you loose distance.
