Another clever 845 design

Usually this is about half my requests , i would like to build this desgin ( customer presents me a schematic see below ) what do you think of it , he asks .And asks could you supply the adequate Lundahl iron to go along ?

he presented me with the following schematic :


I look at it , and immediately take a dislike for it , why ?

A lot of gain stages , feedback after the 6SL7 , this is such a good tube , so good sounding, why ruin it .

Missing is also a resistor for the 2nd grid for the 6SL7 , this is going to cause huge imbalance in bias of the 6SL7 .

The rest is fairly classic circuitry , with negative bias on the 845 .

So i proposed the following circuit :

Using a Loftin white arrangement , and a much simpler approach we probably will get a much better sounding amp , i wait for his comments .
