Leave tube amps always on?


Mark, the owner of Linear Tube Audio, suggested I leave my tube amps on all the time 24/7 if im listenting every day, and to turn them off if not using for a period of time, a few days or for example we go away.  His reasoning was that it uses considerable more energy to turn on/off on a regular basis. 

Do others agree?  Kinda risky since these NOS Mullard tubes ain't cheap and will soon be gone forever.

Today I will be watching football with the volume off,and listening to my main system which has a tube preamp. I won’t be leaving the house,so I will keep it powered up even if I go hang with the Mrs. before kick off. 
I use a tube preamp in my main system,and I don’t feel comfortable leaving it on if I have to run to the store. I’m a no vote on that one.
