KT 88s - Gold Lion re-issue vs others

Can anyone comment on the Genelux Gold Lion KT88 (re-issues) vs the "Winged C" (SED) KT88s. They cost about the same, and I use the Gold Lions now. Any thoughts on whether I should bother trying the Winged C version? I don't feel like I'm missing anything, so really its just curiosity. I will say that I like control, nothing over-accentuated or artificially warm. Also see the EAT KT88 Diamond - that cost 5x as much... are there any who think they are in a different world of performance?

Cheers and thanks

If I were going to experiment with other "88s",I would try the Shuguang Anniversary "black bottles".These are on my "to try" list.
Concur with the "Winged C" comments.Found them a little bit brittle on the top-end.
