"What would you expect to pay for RCA 6L6G on average?"
If you're into Ebay bidding, lots of 2-4 can be won for the cost of 1 KT 150 tube.
Otherwise, there seems to be enough competition for single tubes between 35-50.
"WHen you say the mids are compared to a KT88 type what exactly do you mean? I do like the 34 mids of course but the overall tone could be a tad more lively or not as dark if that is the correct description. "
Now thinking about my assessment of the KT88 in the PL, I have NOT heard a KT88 setup in the HP. That was several years ago with the Prologue 2-a step down maybe a BIG step down? My opinion likely would change now.
The authority on tube rolling would be Kevin @Upscale. Being the distributor, he's the PL authority especially with tube questions.
Addressing your sonic issues, particularly with the PL, is treading dangerous area $$.
I've had great success with AC regen and cabling which helped those areas.
But, as always YMMV.
