A few Hickok testers have this or similar provisions. While, as you note, the Hickoks run the anodes at ~ 150V, g2 even lower, I've found that power tubes selected to match for anode or anode+g2 current will be relatively matched to each other at higher anode voltages: just not as well matched as a selection made at more typical operating point. IOW, you get a considerably better overall match than one based on gm alone but not as good as a match made at full operating voltage and current.
