"New" Western Electric has no relation to old WE, other than a name. Everything produced is from current sources, not NOS. New WE is essentially the former new WE from about 20-25yrs ago (before bankruptcy). At that time, the new company owned and restored original WE tube making equipment, and employed workers who had retired from the original WE. These people are no longer with us, and the equipment is now 20yrs older. My opinion is their products are overpriced, and that was what was whispered 20-35yrs ago... However there will be a market for their products just because of the name and (purchased) legacy.
