BAS..just because the insulation of a cable can withstand a higher ambient operating temperature does not mean that the cable automatically can carry X amount of more current.
Of course there is a slight improvement, however it is nothing like the 27% you have considered...
The tables in the regs book give the operational current carrying capacities of different cables, however you also need to look at the quality of the copper conductors, how the conductor is constructed and what that cable is designed to be typically used for.
These all have a bearing..I know that most people think that copper is copper is copper....however the quality and annealing process is critical, as it the construction of the cores...
The type of insulation will have a bearing..but not significantly..
