Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes


Has anyone heard the Elrog 300B tubes ? I read an article which mentioned that the Elrog 300B delivers 15% less power than a traditional 300B tubes. Can anyone confirm that it is audible ?

I am choosing between Elrog and Takatsuki 300B tubes. I would prefer the Elrog because it is cheaper and supposedly wonderful but if it really sounds less powerful then I have to rethink.

first time poster here....
I own a Lite7 since a few months. I had the 101d WE and more recently the Elroy 300b. the elrogs were my preference ... much fuller sound!
two weeks ago one of the elrogs failed ... I sent them back and now the dealer is hesitant to send me a replacement pair as long as he doesn't know what's going on. he would prefer to give me the money back ...

so here are a few questions for those of you who experienced failures with elrog tubes:

were there any problems with replacement tubes?
any replacements died?
any known causes that lead to failure?
date of production of the replacement tubes?

any information welcome
cheers!
