Howie, I think there was at least one person who built his sr-45 with the eo-45, and there was probably some discussion on this in another thread. You would get a slightly higher damping factor with the exo-45, but how significant that would be in audible terms I have no idea.
Xavier, I already have everything as I found a bunch of mundorf m-tube caps when going through all my piles of stuff, and I may even use a couple of the 30 uF ones for the PF cap. Thanks for the reminder of the obligato -- I'll have to go have a look at those too. And I also found the Continental caps come in a 30uF 630 v size that isn't too huge and not horribly expensive, and gets some nice comments (it is of similar type to the v-cap OIMP -- oil filled polyester), so those may be worth checking out. I also already have the .1 uF copper/teflon v-caps. I think there is a reality MR series in this value too, but it may be just too huge, and the price tag is more than I'd want to spend. The larger value v-cap OIMPs don't have sufficient voltage ratings and of course they are way pricey too.
Paul, unless you know otherwise, Mike does not seem willing to sell BH upgrade iron a la carte -- everytime I've asked, it's the whole package or nothing at all.
