First tube showed up, thoughts?

Tube finally showed up a few days ago. After hours upon hours of reading, I still have no idea what I’m doing. There’s a small but obvious blem in zone 1 (pictures don’t do it justice) and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s a new build from a reputable manufacturer who shall remain unnamed. Tube is a Photonis Echo 4G IIT, paid about 2900. Is this bad, or just kinda the way it is? The end game is to find a similar tube to build into duals with a Daisho bridge.
