OK, I'm planning the 3000v supply for my 2 x 3-500Z amplifier.  I am going to
use a FW doubler, like the SB-220, with a string of 8 capacitors.  Looking at
the Mouser catalog, they have 

Mallory CGS, 210 mf 450v, 85c  $93.60 for 8
CDE 380LX,   220 mf 450v, 85c  $57.68  "  "
CDE 381LX,   220 mf 450v, 105c $78.16  "  "

There are also the All Electronics capacitors mentioned here before.  I haven't
called them to find out if they are still available, but these were 270 mf /
450v 85c, and were reported to be selling for $20 for all 8!

Also, Harbach has a module containing 8 210/450 capacitors (I don't know what
kind) for $115.  It includes the mounting plates (easy to make) and the bleeders
(pretty cheap).  However, he matches the capacity within 1-1/2%.

I am *very* tempted to get the All Electronics capacitors, if they are
available.  But I'm wondering if matching the capacities is a good idea?  I
could buy a few extra of the All Electronics caps in order to get them
reasonablely close.  But... it's often true that one gets what one pays for.

Comments?
