Jim is just suggesting that you not get hung up on the specs. Those do not apply to most of today's offerings anyway.
I would go with the SED 6550C. I like its sound because it has the "crunch" I like on Robben Ford's recordings and some rock. You'll pay about $110 for a matched quad. I also have the Ruby/China (not sure of the maker) 6550ASTR which I have yet to audition. It looks very well made and the bottle seems tough. The Ruby brand is expensive too as they match for plate current and transconductance and offer a six month warranty on individual tubes.
Good luck in your hunt.
