Linlai E 6sn7 tubes

I just placed an order for a pair of these for my Aric Audio Motherlode II.  I’ve been chatting with a fellow that runs the E 6sn7 in his Don Sachs pre. He loves them, He says they make his NOS tubes sound thin and lifeless.  
    It will be a couple weeks until I receive them,and I was curious if anyone out in Agon land has tried these,and what are your impressions?   
Thanks in advance,

The only difference I see between the two other than the logo, is the more expensive ones might be closer to exact spec.

The gentleman that originally recommended the Elites,has tried the the cheaper versions.  He strongly recommended that these were not worth trying.  I’m only going by what was relayed to me.  I chose not to try them. YMMV.

I purchased a pair of these tubes and look forward to comparing them to the Hytron tubes I have in there now. Linlai seems to get good reviews. I hope that these have good longevity, considering the price, which I don't mind paying if they a quality. Has Linlai been around long enough to get an idea of long term reliability?

Clip, reference:

LINLAI™ is a trademark belong to a NEW vacuum tube factory in China – formed by a team of engineers who officially exit Psvane prior to 2019. (This story script is an ‘encore’ of how Psvane was formed a decade ago, when a team of highly experienced engineers exited the state-owned Shuguang tube factory then. In short, Linlai™ team split from Psvane due to irreconcilable disagreement on valuation of investments by both sides.)"
