from many years experience, and based on what I read in an electronics book MANY years ago, you can go to double the MFD with power supply filter condensers with no problem, in fact, all that will happen is your voltage will filter to more steady between cycles. As for voltage rating, it is always best to go HIGHER if possible room wise. (and it almost ALWAYS is. Modern condensers are smaller than the old ones.)
