This comes down more to certain materials that may create a desired sound but with today's technology,we can do a lot of things with tubes that we couldn't years ago..Trimming and spacing the elements are a key factor and the content of the elements plays a role and we can check these things with computers and special devices.
I can tell you point blank that KT66 reissue GEN is every bit as good if not better than the Gray glass GEC KT66 which I have many..The reissue Gen KT66s definitely beat the the vintage clear glass and the fact that they centered the plate structure in the bottle has worked wonders for heat dissipation and,the bases no longer come loose as they did on the vintage KT66s.Here is a test I did on a few of my KT88s and 6550s compared to the reissues.There is also another link.
