As in all things, circuit synergy is the operative principle. Having said that, the smooth plates are generally superior in every sonic parameter. The glass blown versions of the smooth plates are also better than the ridged glass envelopes of the same.
Be careful with the older RCA and Raytheons. Many of them are gassy and create an initial sweet sound that is seductive at first listening but with more sustained listening reveal their real shortcomings. Then again, some audiophiles like that sweetness, even though I personally know that the sweetness is a form of distortion.
