EH 6550s or Svetlana 6550C

I currently use KT88s in SF Power 2, but want to listen to some 6550s. I can easily get my hands on either the Electro Harmonix of Svetlanas so am interested in which of the two people recommend.

The rest of my system is:

SF Power 2 amp
Philly Audio 7B pre
RAW Acoustics HT3 speakers
REL Strata III subwoofer
Shanling T-100 CDP

I listen to almost everything, but lately have been concentrating on acoustical blues and newgrass

Keep in mind and please disregard all my comments about kt88=6550
Richard Gray showed me in his Sylvania Tube text book,
a  kt88 is NOT equal to a  6550. 
Close but no cigar.
They have  slightly  dif specs. The 6550 has a tad more power handling, spec #'s. 
I have Svet 6550's.
I have ohh 400 hrs on them, , Next year when  they  have 2500+ hrs  I plan to try the EH 6550s.
