I have also had good luck with the fairly new Valve Art Titanium Meshplate tubes, a great deal at $165/pr. Particularly good if your amp uses a lot of tubes because the price is so good.
S23chang,
I have only compared the 98-C to the regular Valve Art 300B, it was a huge improvement smoother with more detail, and the Western Electric, pretty much even, I would say the 98-C had a bit more resolution and the WE more body and warmth. The differences between the WE and 98-C would best be described a subtle, at least to my untrained ears. Hope that helps.
