well in the RCA designs they do have an unusual B+ supply to achieve certain ends, and if the tubes were carefully divided between the two strings the ground tap could keep a heater cathode shorted tube from causing as bad of issues as with a single winding.....that is the only good reason I can think of for using the 12.6 CT aside from maybe parts cost.
