Preferred color temp?

I am looking to swap out 15 65W 6" cans in my kitchen/bkfast room with LR6's... I have tried a couple LER PAR30s that were "warm white" 3000-3500 temp... put one in my office with 3 other regular PAR30 incandescent... I did not care much for the less realistic skin tones and harsh light... but, here is my question... in choosing between the 2700 and 3500 LR6 units, has anyone installed 3500 units in your kitchen? Or may be even both color temps in their home? Do you get over the difference in light with the 3500 units after a while, and do you actually like them better? Or would you stick with 2700 for a kitchen

My goal is to swap these out to save energy (15 lights on 6-8 hours / day) and have it pass the wife test... ie. if she did not notice the change it would be a success! :)
