The caps in my question are 'computer grade' and I was under the assumption that inverter grade is actually better (1 step down from pulse grade). I would rather get pulse grade stuff but in most of my searching I can barely find any that are listed as such, and out of those few I do find they are definately not 'good deals'. And unfortunately alot of caps listed online dont say how big the screw terminals are. Sometimes you can tell in the picture and sometimes you cant.
Maybe I'll hold of until I can find some that will be better. Havent decided yet. Most of the lytics I have found on ebay that I have considered (like the sprague 36DX) are going for around 40-50J per dollar for the cheapest ones.

Those caps were in an ebay auction, 21 of them. But I passed on them, instead I found some that had the larger screw terminals. They are Cornell Dubilier 9,100uf 250 VDC Capacitors for $5/ea. I got the lot of 13 so I should have plenty to play with It wasnt specified what grade they were but they definetaly have the large flat terminals, so long as the picture is realy of the caps.
