Default Valve covers

Is there any merit in using one of those push-down latching metal valve screen covers on a valve used in a VFO? Is it likely to help stabilise the valve temperature (and hence drift) more quickly, or is any variable capacitance between it and the valve electrodes likely to do more harm than good?

Thanks.
