Has anyone compared Mullard EL34s to the stock Primaluna EL34s? If so, what differences do you hear? (The standard Mullard, not the obscenely expensive FX series!)

EDIT: Upscale Audio's site has the answer: "Other EL34's to consider are the rare and expensive SED Winged C which is very good sounding. The Mullard re-issue which wears like iron but maybe not as warm." I don't want to lose any warmth! (I already went through that with Gold Lion KT77s. I loved their clarity and presence for a while, but then I started missing the lusher midrange of the stock EL34s that came with my amp. The KTs would probably work better for rock or other electronic music--I mainly listen to classical and acoustic jazz.)
