Hi Ed,
I bought some of these from AES and some of them don't match the size and lead spacing of the latest datasheets - so getting a set that will fit perfectly might be hit and miss. I bought a set of Xicon boxed caps and Wima boxed caps with my last Mouser order, and none of them looked right on my board. The Sprague matched the best. Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_06
As far as testing, they all tested identical.
