Best KT88's for an Mc 2000 ? Any suggestions


I have a Mc 2000 that uses Kt88's. I can buy a extra set of eight from Mcintosh for 1K or I can shop around. Anyone have good or bad experience with a particular manufacturer. I just want to have some spares on hand for when the inevitable happens.

Svetlana is a must - I was told by people in the Mac field who should know. Superior to the 6550.
I found that McIntosh charges you a lot of money just for their logo on the Svetlanas! I saw quads of KT88 here on AG for $160!
I had to have changed a KT88 in my MC2000 and they charged me a horrific $150 for one tube!!!
Could anybody tell you how long the tubes in the
MC 2000 will last? I have VERY different opinions on that!
Cheers!
