Pope Holland Tubes for Cary SLP98P

I have read some good feedback on the Pope tubes for the Cary preamps, does anyone have experience with them and the Cary? Is it worth $600 to upgrade, is there that much improvement?

Has a few other upgrades besides the ordinary F1 package. I love the sound now, but I haven't tube rolled the output stage at all yet, and was wondering if the the Pope's would be an improvement.

Previous EH 6SN7's may have been a little tired but these Sylvanias took my system to a completely different level.
