hmm... i feel that the EL156 can not be sooo different from the KT88. i found this statement:

..."The chance is smiling to the dumb one from the unexpected corner: I just received as a gift a pair of Telefunken EL156 pentodes. Almost fifty years ago, Telefunken introduced the EL156 as a replacement for KT88. It was used in LP mastering labs to drive cutting lathes. At the time, the tube had a ten-pin base socket,Y10-A , and wasn’t used outside recording studios. As the LP faded, so did the EL156..."

bisassing the EL156 should be very moderate between 25-30 mA as i understand. no problem in my gear.
i just will give them a try...
