I'm not using low voltage tracks unfortunately. I put the tracks in when 
LV transformers still buzzed like bees in spring and MR-16s weren't as 
good as PAR30s. Times change.

What bulbs do you have that do 5300K? I've got some Solux bulbs in one 
track that started out at 4700K (if I had 12VDC which I probably 
didn't), and have yellowed noticably in the last year (there's three of 
them side by side - they used to be the same color but now are three 
very different colors).

So, what's considered good for display lighting these days???
