Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps

I have Audio Research 250SE amps and the tubes in it have 2400 Hours. I wanted to hear experience from other ARC users if they replaced KT150 tubes before 3000 Hours.  I am not sure if i need to replace them now or wait for some more time.   I dont have new set of tubes for me to compare with my current tubes and wanted to hear from other people who replaced the tubes.

"just because the amps are 22K each doesn’t mean the guy is rich."

If he isn't rich he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Good catch jea48, I'm now thinking he is the sharpest tool in the shed.  But somehow retube costs of ARC amps is a familiar topic here.
