The 50% increase in power representes all of about 1.4db, or a barely
noticable increase in signal strength. It won't even show up on an
S-meter. Why is the extra 50 watts so important? I really don't get
it.
The only real value would be in "driving power" for an amplifier.
Some triode amps have less gain than others and need more drive
for max output.
