ALL those aluminum paste electrolytics are the SAME regardless of whatever.
They are up against some real physical limits and work best by being worked OFTEN.
Sitting is the WORST thing in the world for those big PS caps.
Don't believe me. Most techs would even recommend a piece of gear with such caps that has sat for YEARS be first energized with a variac so the caps have a chance to reform before getting hit with full line voltage.

Check out this link for info from prime manufacturers of Aluminum PS Caps.
