Would You Buy a SET Amp Using DC Heating on the Output Tubes?

Let's take two separate facts:

1. Most knowledgable amp builders say that AC heating of the output tubes sounds much better than DC.

2. Many commercially built SET amps use DC heating.

Would DC heating be an "automatic disqualification" for you? My guess is that many commercial amps are built using DC because the builder wants to play it safe when it comes to the amount of hum the amp produces. Comments? Thanks!
