How about the DC-Link capacitors (like TDK / EPCOS)? - low ESR, low self-inductance - They are also metalized PP.
And "Compatible with wide bandgap power semiconductor (SiC, GaN)" HaHa.😎 Compatible with PASS devices they mean.
I'll order some of these, nice square fitting boxes too.
Whatabout round-can B32320I4267K000, - 260 µF @ €25/Mouser, even €15/Farnell?? Doable. Or an xEVCap - B25654A5207K001, 200µF/€25 with extreme low ESR. It is for a vehicel power train, 50A handling capacity . . .. Definitely a match with IXTQ75N10P.

Those DC-Link blocks can be easily designed into the PCB's - they integrate great. If there is benefit, although they will dominate the whole.
I compared Ducati 80uF motor run caps vs Kemet 210uF DC Links in a classic M2 build. The Ducati caps soundly beat the DC-Link caps to my ears: smooth instead of edgy treble, fuller midrange, more realistic mid-bass and bass. Thanks for the recommendation, Zen Mod.
The Ducatis are available inexpensively via TME (tme.com) in Poland. I paid $9.52 per capacitor with $12.72 shipping last year to Oregon, USA. Part number of the 80uF version: 4.16.10.87.64. TME also sells a convenient mounting kit for the capacitors: DUCATI-SET-M8.
The 80uF caps are tall - make sure they fit in your build. In my 4U Modushop Monoblocks they just fit. But TME has the full range of Ducati motor runs, so shorter ones are available.

Just checked the TME website. Prices are up to $12.61 presently for order of 5+ quantity, with stronger Euro to USD, etc. Still a good deal.
You guys certainly have motor runs made locally, any of those factories twice older than I am are no slouch
GE comes to mind first and that;s just one of many
no reason to improt Eu drek, if not already available locally

Benefits of Ducati for USA DIYers:
1) Who can resist Italian capacitors made by a hundred year old company. 🙂
2) Mounting system made for easy and secure placement in Modushop chassis.
3) Cheaper via TME than other motor run caps via Mouser or DigiKey.
4) Known to sound good.

dont forget the Cornell dubillier 940 Film caps for power supply or for the 10000uf aluminium coupling cap on some Firstwatt design 🤓
TME is frequently cheaper than US sources and the shipping has always been fast and reasonable. I found them while looking for a Brymen supplier and have been a return customer since. They shipped a large pair of Stone Cold heat sinks for about a third of what heatsinks USA quoted
