Hi,

These are full "metalized" caps.  They can't handle high peak currents 
especially in a single string configuration.  I would use nothing but full 
foil/metalized caps especially if you are going to spend real money on 
them.  Cornell-Dubilier 942C series will have at least twice the peak 
current rating.

If you need some odd value/size, Richardson Electronics usually has or can 
get them at a good price.
