Sonic differences of 6SN7 Tung Sol round plate vs Sylvania "Bad Boy"

After acquiring an AE-3 pre for my 2nd system last fall and experiencing the usual growing pains ( recapping with Jupiter HT's ) and tube rolling,I've settled on Sylvania Bad Boys which I like a lot. While I have tried the early RCA grey glass, Sylvania brown base WGT and Sylvania VT-231 among others I haven't yet tried the Tung Sol round plates.

What are the differences in the sonic attributes between the two?

If I decided to try a pair I'd probably go the 6F8G route as I'd then be able to add a pair of National Union round plates to the Tung Sols for about the same price as a pair of 6SN7 TSRP as from many posts both here and on other forums the NU's are also held in high regard when it comes to this family of tubes.
Thanks in advance
