Nuvistors and Compactrons had different applications. Nuvistors enabled performance improvements by applying ceramic tube technology to consumer products. They were used exclusively in tuners and industrial front end applications.
Compactrons used conventional tube technology and usually combined several applications into a single envelope. Their primary benefit was reduced cost in supply chain and end-product manufacturing. You won't find compactrons in tuners or Nuvistors in deflection circuits.
