A/C issue

So the concern I have about switching from 134 to 152 ( considering 152 has a significantly higher discharge temp than 134 ) is this excerpt from a technical publication :


“ a higher discharge temperature is undesirable because it can cause overheating of the compressor. The overheating of the compressor leads to premature wear of the compressor’s cylinder and piston rings. The overheating also may cause lubricant to break down, causing accelerated wear in the compressor [15]. If the overheating occurs, the reliability of the compressor will decrease and failure will soon follow “


Not sure getting < 10 % cooler cabin temp is worth the risk ..?
