teschiBetter spread and softer shadows have always given the advantage to lower color temps in my experience for utility purposes. Especially if the output difference is small.
I'd never want a headlight over about 6000K. It gets blue (which isn't legal most places...) and suffers from the spread and shadow issues I mentioned. It may be brighter straight line light, but I've never asked for my flashlights and headlights to act like lasers. 5500K is about the whitest and most useful light I've come across, but most things overshoot into bluish light, leaving the more yellowed options as the better choice in my experience.
