Not trying to pick nits, Tom but from my 47 years experience, I'd have to say that it would be a trade-off. You can get color dregradation with a mercury tube as well. The neon gas will have a tendency to make the green a bit more red over several years. The mercury will tend to darken the orange glass over the equal time span. Just my 2 pennies worth, Don
