I tested some of these from a large lot of vintage capacitors bought from ebay, with a heathkit it-11 and none of them tested leaky.
Don't know about the tone, as I did not use them in the signal path yet.
 
Hope that helps a little bit,
Regards!!

Lots of people seem to like their sound. As long as they aren't leaking DC, then give them a try!
