Some questions about Chinese tubes

I'm dealing now with a new piece of gear and a couple new tube types. Not unusual ones - 6SN7s and EL34s - but ones I haven't had a lot of hands-on experience with. I have some handle, and getting a better one, on the US and Euro selections for these types, but have questions about the current Chinese production of these tubes.

Poking around to inventory the cosmos of these tubes, and specific to this inquiry, I see a fair few Chinese variants of these types. Some are quite pricey. Nice looking packaging, lovely silk screening, gold pins, polished metal bases...

First, experiences to report about the pricey ones? The Shuguang "Treasures", Psvane/Psvane MkII/graded versions and Nature Sound, Full Music? Am I missing anything else?

The Chinese military tubes? Are the 6N8P and 6H8C really a direct 6SN7 equivalent? Any good?

That's it for now.

Thanks!
