i feel you, i do wish sometimes i never found out about tubes, its so easy to get lost and spend money on them! but its part of the fun though, the sound is much more pleasing as well in my experience.
Been tube rolling on my first tube integrated amplifier (single input stage tube) for about 2months now and its amazing how changing the tube pretty much changes the whole sonic character of the amplifier!!
This leads me to believe that the amplifier... well.. really just amplifies, to radically change the actual sound, im afraid you will have to go through the tube rolling process and figure out your favorite!
On the bright side though, with your version (13de7), going for 12sn7 with adaptor would be worth a shot, although there is less options than the 1st gen, they are much cheaper and apparently very similar to the 6sn7.
