why?
"Unlike a NOS CV-181 tube, the Shuguang CV-181-Z tube is a safe replacement in any 6SN7 circuit. It is not identical to the NOS CV-181 tube. However compared to other 6SN7 tubes, the Shuguang Treasure CV-181-Z tube has a much larger "ST" style bottle."
Just get a really really good old stock 6SN7 and save some money and get better sound. If you like the pretty bottle, have at it.
