    I agree. You have a few more LEDs to work with, but here is what I went with on my build for my 28:

    Note that my strings were built with max mA of individual LED in mind vs. color. With yours, you would need to run string A at a max of 1000mA due to the CB, and string B at a max of 700mA due to the Red/TV (UV). You may already be aware of this, but just throwing that out there. Otherwise, I think you have a nice selection of LEDs there :)
