On lytics you can go slightly lower in capacitance and be fine because of the tolerance mentioned before, in fact going higher in capacitance can be bad in some applications...If the B+ is high to begin with or if it drifts outside of ~30% tolerance due to a value change then running the set that way for a prolonged period could have adverse effects (if the set even works properly that way).
Never go lower in voltage though! That can be even worse.
