According to Roy Mottram, on the VTA forum, about 90% of his customers who tried both the 12AU7 and 6SN7 board, prefer the 6SN7 version.I only wish I'd tried the 12AU7 socket to 6SN7 tube adapter in the gain section years sooner than I did. The improvement took my ST-70 with the VTA board from an amp that almost never left storage, to one I can now enjoy listening to.
Oh, and for the record, according to Bob Latino himself on the VTA forum, the amps aren't, and have never been "Bob Latino" amps, as shown above.
