good caps go bad, too. service lifetime is a function of temperature and time. lower the operating temp by 10°C and you double the lifespan of the good name-brand capacitor, and probably quadruple the life of the crappy generic cap.

Sure, you might only be saving 30 cents on an individual item (not counting shipping), but if its what you have on hand there's not really a downside.
