Look into the Orange Tube Tester. It may meet your needs depending on what tubes you wish to test and on what level of detailed tests you want to do.
I just bought one and it tests the ECC81, ECC 83 and KT88 tubes I use. It shows a good - worn - bad result with a number that is developed based on their proprietary algorithm. I guess you could sort of match tubes using that. For me, GOOD was all I wanted to see.
