Nichicon vs Chemi-con Electrolytic cap

I have a power amp with power transformer secondary windings of 375-0-375 VAC and B+ = 500 VDC, with 2 filter caps in series: Nippon (United) Chemi-con REW 450VDC, 1200 uf . They have been in service for 20 years now and perhaps time to consider replacement. So far I have only found Nichicon NT with similar specs (450 VDC, 1000 uF). Hence 2 questions:

1. Anyone with experience comparing the Nippon Chemi-con REW with the Nichicon NT?
2. Suggestions for other brands?
