Preamp caps Jupiter copper foil or Jupiter HT worth double the money?

If anyone has any experience with these two caps can you help me out. I'm trying to keep budget down, this is for second system. This will be going in a Bruce Moore preamp, to me this amp sounds warm, fast with big stage but needs to be more refined in the highs. Will the Jupiter HT come even close to the copper foil. Jupiters will replace Solens and a Infinity bypass cap installed as part of upgrade package back in the day. The majority of the caps in there are Rel caps. Someone convince me to buy the cheaper if not I would like to know , thanks for any help.

Many years ago, I had Multicap RTX in my 300B SET amp. Then I changed them to Audio Note Tin foil. Despite RTX weren't bad, AN where more natural, detailed and smooth.
Recently, I changed AN Mylar Copper to Jupiter Copper in my phono stage. The difference was significant. Jupiter Copper has more transparent and even sound.

IMHO phono stage or pre-amp output capacitor is a bottle neck of audio system. Especially if pre-amp doesn't have a global feedback. So, buy the best capacitor that you can afford for this system. This upgrade is always win-win.
