Hello Hector,

It is really difficult to get two identical reactors or transformers or inductors and to adapt them with single turns.

I'm going now another way and install Variacs as Adjustable Reactors. I have one of the 2500VA here and that can be set from 0 to 250 volts. The transformers are very effective as they have low line resistance and high inrush current. I think they are optimal to work as a reactor. So you can adjust the impedance optimally to the capacitor.
Do you have a scope picture of how the discharge should look like?
If I have the 2 transformer I will make a video and show how the curve changes on the scope.

I have now experimented with a digit transformer to test how everything is about and I think that this is promising. The voltage increased in the capacitor to over 1 KV. With a transformer, of course, I get no symmetry out. With 2 position transformers you can then fine tune during operation.

regards
