Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre

I am new to tubes and have heard that Siemens Halske tubes are much better than Siemens Rohre. I am wondering if this is true for 6DJ8 tubes. Often times on Ebay I see tubes advertised as Siemens Halske but the box in the picture will say Rohre on it. Should I completely eliminate any Rohre tubes from consideration? Thanks in advance for your input

I have bought similar (as the ebay link above) tubes off ebay upon a tube expert's ( that I highly trust) suggestion and it turned out to be the best tubes(Early sixties Siemens CCa) I have tried so far on my DAC. Thus leaving up to its reputation as one of the best tubes. Since then I also have bought a pair of 50's grey d getter Siemens CCA and performance is consistent with the reviews. Leads me to think that these are genuine tubes. Just another vote of confidence.

Gammajo, No I don't think it was the same seller, but description, picture , characteristics are same same as when I bought mine just few weeks/months ago. Note that I said " similar". I should add that I should be "liking" the 50's tubes, but for may taste I much prefer the early 60's CCa's. You did not ask for this, but I might as well say it and add to more confusion ;-)
