More gain and more low end definitely sounds like exactly the difference you'd expect going from old valves to new valves.
Those people are, to a man, deaf idiots who want to remove from music all the joy that they could never feel anyway.

I would imagine anyway.
But they do definitely make a difference in most amps. Some are remarkably insensitive though...
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
They do make a difference, even the difference in gain would make a big difference to how you hear the bass and mids.
Saying that depends on what you want from the amp and which amp it is.
I did a comparison with a JCM800 and the valves I thought I would hate were the ones I ended up prefering, they were less gainy but offered greater clarity
So I swapped out V1 - V4.
Honestly, it doesn't seem like the place for donning a scientist's uniform. In the realm of making a guitar tone, it doesn't matter until it's trying to do a particular job, and then all the little things that are making it easier or harder feel like big things to the one person that's going to sink or swim, the guitarist.
