Boutique/custom vs production tube linestages

There are many boutique / small hand made tube audio companies (ie. Aric audio, supratek, Tube audio lab etc). Have you ever compared one of these devices to production gear (ARC, VAC, VTL, Atmasphere etc). And if so what were your findings? I suppose the idea with these more hand crafted creations is higher value but I am curious about your personal experiences.

I currently own an AricAudio Unlimited pre. I haven’t had the opportunity to match it up against any of the big boys.  I would not hesitate to order from him again.  I’m very,very happy with my purchase.  
   I was thinking the other day about a future upgrade. In my mind I have narrowed it down to three manufacturers. AricAudio,Don Sachs,or Supratek.
