I don't want 500V exposed in my livingroom. As for the advantage of the cap, my 211 SETs use 1,000V on the anodes with no cap. There's not a chance of arcing across those large ceramic bases. Really, the only the only way I'll use medium power tubes with anode caps is if they're configured as followers, with the anodes grounded.
