I really don't know. The only way to know is to do a head to head comparison. I do know you can't tell what a tube will sound like by looking at it. We make a choice and pay our $$$. I do know that the 6P3S-e was not designed for audio but it works well.
You can go nuts chasing and trying different power tubes for these amps. You nailed it earlier. The driver tube makes a big difference and having a good selection won't break the bank, especially when you don't need matched pairs.
