Teflon Cap upgrade or new set of NOS tubes for conrad johnson PV12A Preamp?

Unit sounds good now but was wondering -- of these two choices what will sound better?? For CJ PV12A  to have CJ install new Teflon CAPS or replace all stock tubes with NOS high end?

I recently had new Teflon caps installed in my CJ PV 11.  It certainly was worth it.
 It’s like acquiring a new premium preamp. If yours has a phono section, it’s especially worth it. Probably superior to any stand alone phono preamp out there,
the CJ phono section is very special.
Btw, two Telefunken NOS 12 AU7s are not too expensive and sound wonderful in the line stage.
