Toroids are more efficient and have wider bandwidth, so they will have less power loss than an equivalent-capacity E-I core transformer. They should run a little cooler. Any transformer can be overloaded, though. Do your E-I core devices buzz or hum? Are you keeping the currents well below the rated maxima for each winding?
