211 valves: please share your experiences

This renewed conversation is not over which is best, but rather which of the upper echelon 211s is the warmest - hopefully folks can provide some input. Currently it is down to Amperex 211 vs UE 211.
No lack of warmth re GE 211s. I mean, I keep being told they hold the honour of wooden spoon amongst NOS 211s, but lack of warmth is not anything I'd say about them.

Have you compared it to either the RCA, Amperex, or UE 211s to determine whether it's warmer?

No, I'm just saying that they don't lack warmth. No comment if they're less or more warm than the others. But even if they're less warm, they're not on any cold or analytical spectrum.
And have you heard these GE 211s?

I haven't heard the GEs, hence why I'm seeking opinions on here.

Good to know they might be an option for what I'm looking for.
