OK - keep in mind that the tolerance in electrolytic caps is typically +100%/-20% unless noted otherwise.

Your larger caps will be just fine.

Thanks Peter. Do you know why the MFD value of motor starting caps is
such a wide range? The specified caps are 485-582 MFD. Is that the min
and max of the cap? Do they spec them that way instead of using a
tolerance?
