Bill, it does take a bit of getting used to, but, once the screen is properly calibrated, the results speak for themselves ... but, remember, I'm relating this to what our labs here are using as well. We have probably been conditioned to using higher color temps. I used to run 9000-something and thought that was the way to go. I'd imagine that if the labs your using want a screen temp of 6500, then maybe that would be the way to go. Isn't 5000 - 5500K the temp of daylight?
I also suspect that using the proper video card and a proper monitor (one that can be set to a wide variety of color temps) becomes a useful feature. Mine has the three usual temps - 5000, 6500, 9300 - plus is user adjustable for specific temps other than those. Plus, setting the screen gamma to 2.2 is another factor to add to the equation. The video card in my machine allows for a wide range of adjustments past what the monitor itself allows.
