Zero Semiconductor MKIII Upgrade

What are your all's feelings on this upgrade I make to the MKIII's circuit? I am getting similar number's to Shannon's Poseidon circuit with 15dB of feedback. At present I am using KT90 tubes but KT88s will yield the same numbers as well when optimized.

The mod uses all point-to-point wiring and a sheet of stainless to replace the driver board. Cermet pots are used for the phase compensation and bias pots. Photos and the schematic are below.

What do you all think?

What about the bias diode

As far as I am concerned, that does not count because the original circuit called for a selenium rectifier. With fixed bias, I would not feel comfortable using a 6X5 as it would need to warm up not delivering immediate bias voltage.
