How do they compare to Russian teflons?

I have noticed the same long breaking-in with Russian K72 and FT-2 caps. After 2 months of continuous burning (connected to transistor receiver in series with 8 ohm resistor, 6 W avg. music into the resistor), and additional burning in the actual circuit, they sound very balanced and produce extraordinary clean highs. This was the first time I heard loud orchestral strings reproduced properly.

All the comparisons I've read about were dismissive of Russian caps. But from what I hear in my tests, I don't think I need anything better, esp. for 30-50 times the price.
