The better reliability of the 572's is not just a "perceived" improvement.

The 572's have about twice the plate dissipation of the 811a's and they were
designed to run at a much higher plate voltage.

A 572B has nearly triple the plate dissipation of an 811A. As I recall, the plate dissipation of an 811A is 65 watts. The dissipation rating of the 572B is 160w per bottle.
