Yes, we bought the 6500°K bulbs ie "natural" lights, while 2700°K are more "artificial" lights.

I didn't noticed the real price differences as we wanted to buy "natural" lights, but from what I remember it was at most 10% more expensive, while the choice was 10 times smaller...
The web site of the store currently gives me only "404 not found"...

Except the price a little bit more expensive and the lumens a little bit smaller, others specifications (life, dimensions...) are the same between the 2700°K and the 6500°K CFL I have.
