I've used 3 of them in the past year and as far as I can tell, they are
still running. The only thing I don't like about them is they are rather
large (almost the size of a Coke can) and they are a little pricey (I think
I paid $35 for the last one).

You're right they are pricey. I looked them up in the Johnstone
catalog and they're about $80+ for the 200X. model. A std.
60+10/440V is about $33.

But dimensionally they spec'd out the same. In fact the 200X was
about 1/4" shorter.

Physical size doesn't mean anything. only the microfarad value and voltage
are important.

You simply jumper them to the value(s) you want and they come rated
440V. I think the model 200X had enough sections to jumper to 60+10.

I just don't know if all these seperate sections in one can lead to
greater potential for long term reliablity issues.

Thats not an issue if you carry and install OEM parts.
