As operating freq. decreases, L-sup can increase without risk to R-sup.  
More L-sup equates to lower VHF Q in the anode resonant circuit, which 
improves VHF stability.  //  Also, what it takes to stop the parasitic is 
probably not going to be the same for all tubes. Better to go an extra 
mile, methinks.
