RE: It won't equal a choke...

LOL...I just giggle when I hear that, 'contaminate with silicon' idea. I have built a tube CCS a few times, and while some of the performance parameters are not as good as the SS implementations, the critical ones certainly are. Things like a lack of voltage variable capacitance for one.

Also, to say that a choke is a better load because it stores energy and can operate with less voltage across it only matters if delivering an adequate amount of voltage is expensive; either to the design implementation as a whole, or outright Cash outlay...:)
cheers,
