Coupling / DC-blocking capacitors: higher voltage rating better?

Hi there,
Say you are need the values 0.47uF for one pair of monoblock amplifiers that serve treble AND midrange duty, and that 200V rating is more than adequate (line-level input).
Will over-specing to 450V or 600V rating result in any sonic improvement?
The price and physical size of the capacitors double at 600V (triples at 1500V).
The application is DC-blocking / coupling at the line-level input for an amplfiier.
I am choosing between the Auricap or the TRT DynamiCap.
I will be doing the same to the OTHER pair of monoblock amplifiers for bass, but with 1.0uF value instead. I am probably going for the Auricap for the bass monoblocks as the TRT DynamiCaps seem to be optimized for the mid-range and the high frequencies.
Comments and suggestions, anyone?
Many thanks in advance!
