I would try to find any cap other than the Sprague Atoms. They are over priced and of questionable quality. Sometimes the leads on caps won't reach between the eyelets or turrets on vintage boards. This is unfortunate. If you know about it in advance, you can move the eyelets closer together or just solder some bare wire to the leads. It's ok to go to higher voltage if needed to get parts that are slightly larger.
The small differences in capacitor nominal values usually don't make very much difference. The actual tolerance of the capacitance in an electrolytic is usually +/- 20% or higher. That's why you rarely see it quoted. In the past, when they were making tweed amps, it was -20%/+100%.
