Chris,
I know from your posts, you are very knowledgeable on all things AC.
It looks like the "E" type is now rated down to 90 volts from the picture. Based on that, I would agree it would be an appropriate choice.
When I installed the non-E in my unit, Suppco was not listing the E unit down to that voltage level. The one I installed did help start-up. It was in-fact a larger capacity capacitor than the stock one it replaced. This was on a 1999 Dometic unit.
Rockwind - I would recommend trying the "E" if the capacitance is larger than your stock unit.
