Sophia vs TJ Full Music

Anyone compare the Sophia 274B Rectifier tube and/or their 2A3 Mesh Plate's with the corresponding TJ Full Music's 274B and/or Mesh Plate 2A3's?

Look familiar? http://sophiaelectric.com/pages/se/274b.htm http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Shuguang-274B-Rectifier-Vacuum-Tube-2PCS-5U4-5AR4-/110610017769?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item19c0deede9
