    I know you know that 50uF @ 10kV is 2.5kJ, but  75uF @ 20kV is 15kJ? A 
bit outside your range, and twice the 7.5kJ of your 1.5uF  @ 100kV? 
 
    Granted, the 10-20kV will be *much* easier to work  with and more 
practical...
 
    Just guessing that you're building in some  design margins as usual. :)
