The price of new 813s, versus New Old Stock 813s? There are no new 813s, only
new old stock
A pair of NOS 813's can be had for 40-60$ today. A pair of 3-500Zs are closer
to $290.
That's a big difference.
I'll agree re the GS-35B...certainly a bargin at the moment.

I was referring to the price of new, not NOS. A pair of brand new
813s will be less than a brand new 3-500Z by perhaps $50 more or
less, but in the big picture of amplifier building, that isn't much,
IMO. The nostalgia factor with 813s is large, but I think a single
3-500Z would be better in the long run.
Even better than that would be a single GS-35b for about $100 plus
shipping and no socket needed (mounts directly to the chassis).
Different strokes, as they say.
