Most UK sets had fewer valves (tubes) than their American counterparts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I *think* that radios were taxed in the UK based on valve (tube) count...the more valves, the higher the tax. So manufacturers managed to extract the most performance they could from the fewest amount of valves.

That said, the 282 is an excellent performer for being a five-valve (tube) set. I would put it on a par with the USA 620 or 630. I have never heard a 610 in operation, so can't comment on it. A 610 would be closest in circuitry to the 282 since neither have RF amplifier stages.
