Pat, welcome to a new world! Newer caps have LESS linear distortion, it is also called dielectric absorption or DA. This makes signals peak and stop better (trust me), and this can be a blessing or a curse. If you want accuracy, then it's good. If you want forgiveness of whatever the source is, then it can be a problem.
