Thank you Ralph...  That was the type of EE answer I was looking for.
I hadn't taken into consideration the 'desired' breakdown of the
materials in the component in order to stablize it to the circuit,
(ie burn-in).  I believe this removes the 450V unit from the list,
and ALSO reduced the cost by about a buck each.
Your comment re: charge rate is also interesting, and I'm wondering
if 220uf is going to be a bit much, although it WOULD be nice to
have a bit better filtering than OEM.  I don't see why it would NOT
make for a better rcvd signal.  I'm going to look through the catalog
again and see if there is anything in between 100 and 220uf (ie 150?).
