Wow only 2,000 hours. I could swear that the military MTBF reliability data for capacitors I once read was much much higher then that.

What is the failure mode of these capacitors? The only failure mode I could think of that would fail 177 caps would be some kind of power supply failure that caused all the capacitor's maximum working voltage to be exceeded. That certainly wouldn't be the caps fault, just the results of a different failure.
