Agree with heat/maintenance issues. Btw, heat issue becomes an advantage in winters depending on where you live. Hot summers a different story, my 610t and rest of front end (ref10 ph+ ref 10 pre) forcing me to do more outdoor activities :-) Having said, heat is even more managable than tube issue which SED winged C is out of production and very few current production alternatives left as Tungsol 6550. You can still find winged C but they are very expensive and finding 2x 8 matched pair is also hard task. A friend who also owns 610Ts replaced his winged C with Tungsol 6550 and he is pleased with the results. I am lucky that I have matched pair winged C stock.
I wonder how Ref 610Ts will match with my upcoming Magico M Project speakers, we will see.
