Confused about the difference between a EL34 and 6ca7

I was interested in a set of EH EL34 but I keep reading about the EH 6ca7.

Quote: "They might be electrically compatible but most tubes these days sold as 6CA7s (e.g., EH and GT) are beam tetrodes as opposed to the pentode design used in most EL34s."

So IS the EH EL34 the same as it's EH 6ca7?????

I wanted to order a set but as usual I'm a little thick!!!
