807 is nothing but an ugly 6L6.
No it isn't. The 6L6 is a whimpier version, the 807 being an RF type, having greater P(D) and P(SG) ratings than the 6L6 (25W/19W; 3.5W/2.5W) and a higher voltage rating (750/360). Even though it's an RF type, the 807 has better THD specs than the 6L6. If you don't push them real hard, 807's can give THD figures below 1.0%, whereas the 6L6 doesn't even come close, never going below 2.0%. This is probably due to the 6L6's being more of a "consumer electronics" device operated at lower voltages, higher currents, and lower impedances (cheaper iron all the way around) than is the case where 807's are used. Even though both types can do 26.5W in class AB(1), I'll take the extra 6.0W margin and lower THD.
