The Zstage is nice and clean, so easily reflects variations of cables, tubes, and bias. The single tube is a powerful tool for sound shaping refinement, and with all the tube types that work, and with the variety you have, I think it is pretty likely you will find something that sings in your setup. I got my "organ" cleartop 12AU7 from Brent Jesse and it is definitely a nice sounding tube, just not my fav in my system/room, but it sure might be for you and yours.
With all that set to your preferences, adjusting the bias and riding the volume gains will effectively give a huge range of options for easily adjusting for front end and recordings. I wish it were made with two inputs, and I plan to see if I can get Steve to do this on mine. Even though there is not a lot of room, it looks possible one way or another. But I have enjoyed mine a lot as is (#002)!
I look forward to hearing how it settles into your system.
