Great job!
Some folks might like the "blue-white" look and can order accordingly. It seems the overwhelming majority, however seem to prefer the incandescent look. I certainly do.
As a real estate man, I cringe when I preview a potential new listing and the folks have the "blue-whites." It really cheapens the feel of the home.
I have CFL bulbs in about half of the sockets at our house... and they are all incandescent color. In fact, our 3 garage door-flanking coach lights are all incandescent-colored CFLs. It's virtually impossible to tell the difference. It's nice to be able to leave those on as long as I want without concern for the power bill. All 3 use less power than a single 60W bulb. I'd be surprised if we spend 10 cents a month on those.
The neighbor across the street has the "blue-white" versions in his coach lights. To me it looks terrible. I've been thinking of buying him a set like mine, but I have a feeling he might be insulted. So we suffer along with the other neighbors. If you have those in the front of your house... sorry, but... your neighbors are probably afraid to tell you too. :)
