I bought a pair of 845T tubes from Grant Fidelity and one of them died after 14 months. I replaced it with a single from Grant Fidelity and did something unutterably stupid -- in handling them, I got confused about which one was the new tube and which one was from the original pair. Then, In a year, another 845T died, and of course I didn't know whether it was the new one or the old one.
So I got a pair of 845C (metal plate) tubes from another seller, and when these survived, bought a back-up pair. All four of the 845C tubes have lasted ever since (quite a few years).
I have no personal experience with the newer 845T II variety, but I'd be leery about this tube for the above reason.
