How about using just one of those new 49000 uF units
to replace both of
the 26000 uF units (*2=52000 uF)? The 3000 uF diff isn't likely to
matter, but it can be buffed up with a little 3000 uF cap in parallel
if you feel compelled.
I wouldn't think that 3000uF was necessary. Aluminium electrolytics are
wide-tolerance devices at best, so that 49000 may be way off anyway (why
isn't it a 47000, which is a prefered value, I wonder...)
Which reminds me of what I call the 'silly capacitors' in HP machines.
Things like 8100uF (why not 8200uF), 21000uF (why not 22000uF), and the
classic of a PSU with both 5600uF and 6000uF devices on the same PCB...
