If your B+, when settled, is in upper 400-s, I would use the caps with higher voltage than 500V or even 525V.
If those are hard to find, serializing two 450V caps (and, if the measurement asks for it, adding equalizing resistors across) does the trick. Even though the voltage only goes into the formula as the 1st degree (inversely proportional), it is still a significant factor.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
