choice of midrange cap?

Aloha Fellow 'Goners,
Presently looking at a 1.0 uf Mundorf Oil and Silver or (yikes!)Duelund cap for my top of the line Fostex horn tweeter. Mid range vintage JBL horn driver uses 40 uf. What cap recommendations could you give me for this value that would be more down to earth $$$ wise yet still compliment the top end? This is a 3-way horn system with sub.

Also, what sonic complications are caused by say mixing a 25uf with a 15uf to make up 40uf since many manufacturers don't make 40's in certain compositions? Thanks for any guidance on this topic.

In my experience, nothing competes with the Duelund, but major money here!

The Mundorf Silver/Oil could impart a bit extra brightness.

Haven't heard the Clarity, heard good things about them, however.

Another cap to consider is the Jantzen Z-Superior copper cap, really nice cap very few know about. Alas, only goes up to 22uf, would have to use two.
