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.

Thank you grannyring, I did check on those couple days ago the ones listed are listed they are 100v. Parts connextion is out of copper foil. I'm going to check with Sonicraft see if they have any in stock. Thanks for everyone's help. 

Natural and real is what I'm looking for ,not looking for detail or hifi. I knew going into this copper foil was the way to go. Was hoping HT was close in sonics. I'm going to play it safe and go with Jupiter copper foil. I did look at Audyn copper max at 2/3 cost of Jupiter but will just stick with Jupiter. If anyone has a 2.2uf  600v they want to let go of let me know, sure is cheaper buying new caps than a new preamp, at least that's what I tell myself.

I agree with bottle necking. I found that out with cap upgrade in speakers. This is new to me changing caps but the results were pretty big in my system. I put CRM, Alumens and path resistors, they replaced Auricaps and was shocked how quiet and refined speakers became. That is why I'm doing Preamp which I've never done. I think Juniper copper may be best bet for me. Partsconnextion is out of copper value I need. Talked to Jeff at sonicraft if I heard him right he's fading out Jupiter and does not have my value. He is selling the Miflex and seems to really like them. I don't know much about Miflex but I never heard any of these copper caps including the Jupiter, buying blind.  If I have to throw a dart at the board Im going for Jupiter copper, but all these copper caps have to good right? They must be better than what's in my amp now, Infinity, Rel and Solens. Changing caps in speakers changed character of the speaker for the good, I was good with that but I don't want to change character of my preamp. I like how it sounds just want it more refined, the amp pulls all the detail I need. Anyone compared Audyn and Miflex to Jupiter copper I'm just curious what you heard. Jupiter is only $100 more and sounds like most people like it.
The Jupiter copper foil has been in Preamp for a week or so it sounds very nice even with a way to go before break in. Same time I put some Miflex bypass in a pair of monitors and floorstander and was very impressed at such a small investment catching them on sale.  I like what these copper caps do. There also very quiet and make cymbals sound nice. Wondering what they will sound like fully broken in.
