need help with a rare 50w zener

El-even
Hi guys,

i'm searching for 1n4558 (4.3v 50w zener) for my beta lead preamp but cannot find one of them anywhere
the only equivalent i found is the 1n5336 (4.3v 5w)

noob question,
is the wattage difference a big issue for this building?
powering with +15v/-15v

I don't think there's a big difference between the glass or plastic casings, but maybe someone who knows more than me can chime in.  mouser.com sells 1N458A for $.17 each, and theirs are in the plastic.
