Michel - that's exactly what happens. IN-9 tubes are significantly brighter than IN-13, and to my eyes much better for general use. I made this thing ( http://youtu.be/mQ1567EFCY0) with IN-13 and both flavours of IN9. Although the IN-13 were bigger, used less current and were more predictable to play with, the dimmer display meant that version needed a fairly low ambient light environment. FYI IN9 are also more prone to 'sleeping sickness', particularly the argon ones. Cheers, Jon.
