845 Dilema

I've been very happy using Shuguang 845B tubes in my deHavilland Aries 845G amps.
But like 99% of us I read great things about the newer 845's
and get to wondering if I should try something new.
Namly Elrog,Psvane WE 845 or Sofia 845 MK3
I know that many have listened to or own the above mentioned but has anyone actually had a shoot out with these tubes.
I would like to hear your thoughts and the amp(s) that were used.
Many Thanks

Thank you for your post.
I thought that some 845 user's may have made comparision's
with these tubes but I guess not.
Enjoy your music

Spirit,Are you sure your Audion amps can function properly with KR tubes.I believe the Shuguang 845B has a filament plate current of 3.25 and the KR are much less.
At least this is what I have read.Therefore the KR 845 was not added to my inquiry as my amp needs a RCA speced tube
In any event please let me know your thoughts.

Sounds Real,
I'm in total agreement.The Aries 845's are really special.
They have served me well and in addition you get Kara whom is always available for questions and suggestions.
Before taking the plunge on $1500 Elrog or other $800 a pair tubes I thought at least one member would have made a comparison but evidently not.
