It's something to consider, but the use of SS devices in applications like this always scares me. It's possible to achieve very low levels of ripple with even a relatively small choke (1-2 Hy) in a CLC filter. Chokes in that range typically have low DCR and will drop very little DC voltage. Compared to 10-20 Hy chokes, they're also small, light and inexpensive. They don't provide regulation, of course, but I seldom find that necessary for HV. Funny, I was just thinking about this very thing (SS vs choke) as it might apply to voltage doublers. I have a number of old HK doubler transformers I was considering throwing out. A simple means of cleaning up the supplies (CLC or C-SS-C) might make them more useful.
