Bit the Bullet ... Don Sachs Model 2 Preamp


So, today I ordered a Don Sachs Model Two Preamp with upgraded caps to drive my 31K ohm SS power amp. This will replace my beloved BAT VK-3i, which I intend to keep ... of course, that could change if the DS Model Two blows me away sonically. I expect to have it in a few weeks. Did a fair amount of reaearch on the DS, and it had great reviews. It's tough to really know unless you hear it in your system. OK ... tell me if I did good on this one.

Can anyone share their thoughts about expected tube life for this preamp? Just curious, as I haven't read anything about it. 
I also wonder if using a variac to control and lower the house current (to something like 110) might result in extending tube life.
