2A3 monoplates, are they worth the cost?

Hi, I am new to this tube type and have oredered a preamp that use the 2A3. The cost of the monoplates are prohibitive. How much better are they than the next best variety (2A3 RCA blackplate for instance). I have also heard that many of the monos can be gassy and or short lived.
Any AA 2A3 users that have experience (particularly with the sonic presentation versus the best dual plates) with the monos please chime in.
Thanks.

Bart
