We have been selling the Svetlana AX7 for some time now with very good results. Nels Ferre also used them in his review of the Jolida JD100 tube CD player. I have not personally heard the Ei Elite so cannot comment. I currently run the Svets in my Jolida preamp and found it to be my #2 choice in this application. JAN Philips 12AX7WA is my preference.
Goo luck and happy listening.
Hi, I tried a pair, shortly after they became available, yet hard to find. I got mine from Portugal, the price made the risk worthwhile. I used them in a phono stage. They were better than the generic chinese that were included with the preamp, but I prefered a pair of Amperex Orange labels from Holland, to the Svetlanas. I think for the price, they are worth trying and having around as backups. Just my opinion, of course.

AA sponsor Triode Electronics has Svet 12ax7, not sure if it is the "latest" you mention. I have some but have not tried them yet. I was under the impression they were Mullard knockoffs. Consensus here seems to favor the Ei Elites.
The Svetlana 'X7 is a copy of the Mullard box plate. The EI 'X7 is a copy of the TFK smoothplate ECC83.
