"In addition to that, they are listed by CDE as 2000 hour MBTF caps"

That spec is for max temp and max ripple current. If you're not operating 
at that point , the lifetime increases exponentially.  CDE caps (if they're 
105C versions) are darned good caps. 2000 hours MTBF (at max temp/max 
ripple) is typical of a very good capacitor.
