The extra cost of the Atoms is most likely due to the cost to replicate the vintage look, and the extra price they can get for that.

I also recommend going with F&T, unless the appearance is important.

You'd have to really, really want the vintage look to pay that price ;^)

Yep, I'd probably install some sort of window so I can look at them while I play !

Gut the Atoms, pull the tiny cap out and fill with the F&T. That keeps people that misplace form over function happy.

F&T or MOD electrolytic, which are holding up well for me. Have nice long leads and reasonable pricing.
