"As for the "current production" ECC83's, I see that they are now back to the grey plate design."
Correct you are, sir!
"I have last year's models with the chrome plates."
Yes, they made their appearance last year, and now apparently are history.
"Now I also see that they have the Ei "Elites", which I guess have gold plated pins and are specially selected at the factory or some such."
Actually, the worldwide distributor does the plating and screening. This is good though, as I was rejecting almost 40% of the regular Ei 12AX7s, the "Elite" reject rate is about 10%. Most "Elite" rejects are for microphonics (DESPITE the fact they are screened by the distributor) and for cracking in the glass in the tube base.
"I have some Ei 12AT7's that I use, as far as I can tell Ned is the only place to get them."
That may be, I don't stock them yet as my NOS supply is still okay. But certainly Ned's a good source (and a good guy!).
