Yes please.

Or does it depend on who you're talking to! I use 70-80-20 in my original version. Maybe the driver stage could be larger? I read on another forum - or maybe it was this one - where it's advisable to use as little capacitance as possible for a quicker signal response. But most people suggest to load 'er up. Too much storage capacity is never enough.
Also, I like the idea of using the Clarity Cap TC's in place of the can cap of the original - using a bigger chassis of course. I read somewhere that the value of the film cap (Clarity Cap in this case) doesn't need to be the same as the electrolytic. For instance, would a 80 uF film cap be equivalent to a 120 electrolytic? I'm wondering what the ratio is.
Thanks for any insight on this.
