MMC experience please

Hello,

I am looking into purchasing some panasonic vigh voltage metallized
polypropylene film caps (pulse caps) to make a MMC.  I will be powering
it with a 15kv 30ma NST.  Going by the tradition formula the cap value
should be .005ufd.  I was looking at making the MMC using .01ufd,
1600vdc caps.  It would have 7 strings of 14 caps.  Which gives .005 -at-
22,400 vdc.  I understand it is better to use more strings then less.
Does this arrangement sound ok to you seasoned MMC'ers, or am I missing
something?  Digikey has these guys for 82 cents each in quantities over
100.  Under $100 for a great pulse cap sounds good to me!
BTW I will be using a static gap arrangement for the time being, if that
makes any difference.

Does the above sound ok or i guess I should ask if you were to be using
a 15/30 NST and static spark gap how would you design your MMC.


Thanks much coilers,
John M.
