Thanks, I think I have it now, both answers are correct! When using two caps of same value, that is the value or C1+C2 divided by 2.
When using two caps of a different value you use C1 times C2 divided by C1 + C2.
A safe margin of difference is plus or minus 20%, therefore these caps are OK.

Based on this, even though C754 100 uF 100 Volts Non-Polarized Lytic is now going to be 89.19uF, that is OK (within 20 +/-) and therefore does not need to be same or higher.
