Properly implemented UL will show better open loop performance than pentode as regards bass distortion and load tolerance, with a relatively small penalty in efficiency. Compared with triode, it will have less Millering (hence better OL bandwidth and a better spreading of the poles making feedback more stable) and markedly better efficiency. Some of these things will show up on the spec sheet (power), some won't (LF distortion, load tolerance) but will be audible. Your Procrustean restriction to the spec sheet alone is curious and telling- do you really think that all design virtues are contained therein?The two key words are "properly implemented." Slap a cheap piece of shit transformer in and you'll have grief; the best topology for shitty transformers is probably Circlotron.
disclaimer: My own design choices do not include ultralinear. But in the past I've built UL amps with excellent performance, so it's not beyond the capabilities of a DIYer.
