I would go with whites over blues and orange. You need green too. Plants do better under a fuller spectrum.They might give you a bulk deal on 4 Apollo 8's that might be cheaper. Usually the more lights you buy the cheaper they are per unit.

Thanks for the great feedback. What would you recommend for the white mix? I've seen folks post 2x2700, 1x6500, 2700+6500, 2700+12000, 5x5000, 5x6000

the apollo grow lights are maxed out at 700mA so the can only run 5 whites and/or blues per module. so for that 5 6000K. other wise get the aquarium apollos and you cab do more whites at 12 leds per module. they run at 1420mA on 1450mA drivers. when reds are added in they will be driven softer. so less watts and last longer and better ratio. I would probably do

x6 6000k
x3 630
x3 660

i like to use 4000k with a different ratio but they have never tested it

these are the spd's that I got from cidly,

There is a good link for reference at the Apollo grow light spectrum.
