Worth Swapping 2 Blue+ for E5 Blue Pop LEDs?

8 bulb 36" ATI fixture over a 36" long, 20" tall tank. Got them in a recent sale and I'm unsure if the potential par drop off (if any) is worth it.

One of my suppliers was saying that e5s had horrible quality control would bend from heat with the longer bulbs. Also just not last. That's why they have became almost hard to find and they haven't bothered releasing the other two spectrums they were talking about.

Interesting. I've read about the sagging issue on the longer bulbs, but didn't know about the longevity issue.
