yes, never been an issue for me but would like the other poster to chime in, curious as to what problems he has encountered.
the 150uf would work as well, its just I prefer to always go the the NEXT commonly available size that is higher rather than lower. example a 47 for a 50 is fine, but I would generally go with a 56. Again I really don't think it matters, the caps today are so much more accurate that the stuff from back in the day.
IIRC the tolerances were back in the day in the +100 to -50 but that is something I read, and not sure if its correct.
so a 150uf could be 300uf to 75uf. I have seen some mighty odd values used in repairs that worked, but for me I stick with a process, so always go next higher and equal or higher on voltage.
on small caps like 4.7-47uf I typically go way high on voltage, so if a circuit calls for say a 5uf at 50v I will go with a 4.7 or 5.6 but will go much higher on voltage, maybe 160v to 450v. The reason being the size is often a closer fit with the modern caps and I have fewer caps to purchase across a voltage rating. you can use a 450v in a 50v circuit with out issues. Then when you need a 450v 5uf you have it.
