That'd give me a bit over a 100 volts head room without trying to
shoehorn in another cap or two.

If I put the 3CX800's in I'd like to take advantage of the extra
capability and the higher voltage would keep the q about the same
although dropping it a 100 volts should make no noticeable difference.
I don't think I could come up with a legal limit with overhead to spare,
any cheaper. The most difficult part would be to add more ventilation
holes to match up with the new rubber stacks and make then look like
they were part of the original setup. Not only do they have to align and
look neat, but to do so with out chipping the original paint might be a
chore. Although the original holes *might* provide sufficient air flow
there is still the problem with alignment.
As I have mentioned before, when it comes to building I want it done
right and to look good which is why it takes me so long to build anything.
