You're so right. Those little midget radios play so well with a long antenna and strong signal. They also seem to work forever without fail! I was told a long time ago that a 6-8 tube set is all you need to have an excellent performing radio. More than that may offer better sensitivity, but, generally speaking, it is overkill.
