Actually, stock bulbs are the brightest bulbs out there unless you upgrade to 55W bulbs and ballasts.
As you go up the Kelvin scale, you lose output (lumens). I believe the stock bulbs are rated at about 3100-3400 lumens. Typical 6000K bulbs are rated at about 2400-2600 lumens. Thats about a 20% or so drop in output.
It is not brighter however, you may think it is due to the more obvious contrast in color.
