Speaking of straight neon and supposedly short lifespan: I have a 6-digit clock that has National NL-6844A tubes sticking out from the front of it. Have had it running now since 2010, and it seems to be doing very well. I do like the 6844A tubes as they make clear, sharp, bright numerals. Anyone out there ever use these, and if so, what is your experience with the lifetime of them?
