What's the consensus these days on which currently available 300Bs are a good value?

I like the sound of the TJ meshplates. Very 45ish sounding. I get about 5 years of daily use out of a set.

I agree about the TJ Mesh, but I'd put it about in the middle of a spectrum that goes from the vintage WE midrange-to-die-for sound to, at the other extreme, tubes like the EML 300 BXLS and the Shuguang Treasure 300B-z that really sound like a 45, or even like a top-end solid state amp with a little more flesh. But for the money, the TJ Mesh is excellent.

What I'd like to know is, is there a reasonably priced 300B with anywhere near the WE rich midrange sound? I hear Shuguang has come out with the WE replica, but at a very high price.
