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.

IMO the V-Caps sound better to my ears.  I know there are many people who have used the Jupiter caps though.  V-Cap just came out with a new cap that sounds excellent plus if you want to spend more of your hare earned money, they have copper caps also.  You can see them i the  components that I build in my system pics.
I prefer the copper sounding caps BTW.
Happy Listening.

Only Jupiter caps I have left are the beeswax  1.0 uf 600VDC (2 pairs).  One pair is much larger than the other. Go figure!
