LED question 1.1 or 2.1 ??

[Civicdemon]

Ok so im going to go get my LEDS tomorow and i was wondering is it best to get 1.1 white and blue or 2.1 blue white ???? the ones im getting are dimmable. SO i can turn witch ever one i want down.
right now i have PC lights and i have mostly LPS with a couple SPS, im planning on keeping the same schem and do mostly lps corals with some SPS corals.

Is it going to be purely look or will one be better than the other. ???

I have read/heard anecdotal stories of needing some reds and cyans mixed in to get exceptional color and growth. That ones with just white and blues don't do as well since they are missing certain wavelengths. Adding the reds and cyans help.

Then again, this is from fellow hobbyists and no scientific data.

It's a personal preference, but you should try to incorporate some UV and cyan LEDs for color rendition

I was reading online about new torquoise that is supposed to help with some of the colors as well. They are like 498 nm or something. Here is the post about it:
495nm Turquoise LED You might wanna check that out.
