How much more efficient are daylight cfls when it comes to providing light for plants during vegetation compared to soft white cfls?

Is there going to be a huge difference between a plant that has been grown with 4 soft white cfls as opposed to one that had 4 daylight cfls?

6500k owns the other ratings for veg, hands down. I used 200 watts total of only 6500k for my veg and they took off nicely.
