Something interesting to consider when thinking about the risks / desirability of using two high capacity electrolytics in series for reservoir / smoothing at mains and above voltages is that most switch mode PSUs for computers etc use just such an arrangement after the bridge rectification input . Why that is , I could not say for certain . However the manufacturers of these devices seem happy enough with the safety and performance of such a configuration .

Food for thought at least ....
