RE: Quickie upgrades & modifications

Could you briefly explain again why a choke would be better than a simple plate resistor of the same resistance? Does an inductor "hold" electrons in its magnetic field in such as a way as to smooth out what the plate "sees" in terms of a load? Is it better in terms of being able to present a more ideal load across a wide range of frequencies, like how a C4S board makes a tube's "curves" look more like straight lines on a plot?

Also, would the 3.7k resistance of the chokes linked to here change anything, circuit wise, over the 2k plate resistance in the stock build? Is more resistance on the plate always better (keeping in mind that there's no power supply noise to "reject" here)?
