Well, it’s not something I would have picked, nor would most others here in terms of color temperature.
If you went with cool white over neutral white in the XP-L HI just for the difference in output, then I think that was a bit silly. One flux bin is around 7% output, which is less than you can detect without instruments. Accepting worse tint, if your tint preferences are in line with the majority here for an output difference you can’t even see doesn’t sound good to me.
On the other hand, if you like cool white, there’s nothing wrong with that option.
