Electrolytic question

My electro's in my muntz set are 450 volt. The diagram calls for 500 volt. Even new stock electro's formed before installation run a little warm, but the b plus line is higher than the 70-75%percent of the voltage of the caps them selves. I have read here that the cap voltage rating is a max . I can get 500's from just radios......but would 600 volt caps last longer than 500 since they would not be getting pushed too hard?
