What's the point of a 35w 1300 lumen 6000hr slow warmup white sodium lamp for £50? A CFL has better efficacy, faster warmup, longer life, instant onoffability and a fraction the price.

If you need it, the 83% CRI makes it worth the effort and money. If you
don't need it, then a CFL will indeed do the job.

CFLs are normally in the 80s% CRI.
