What is the advantage of those metal film filter caps over our traditional electrolytics?   They are so big!  Especially when compared to radial electrolytic caps.

They last forever.

Yup exactly.  Unlike electrolytics that can dry out and fail over time, these don't have a 'wet' electrolyte, and therefore last forever (unless they fail, which ANY component can do) therefore in theory the amp should never need any touches inside once done.  There were 0 electrolytic capacitors used here.
