You're not missing anything. Although I recommend buying only caps
rated for 105'C because they seem also to last longer than the 85'C
spec ones. But that's exactly what I mean.

The way it was explained to me is that the 105's use a different
electrolyte and tend to have lower ESR, etc. I used to bench repair a
certain power supply that would make short work of ruining an 85...only
a 105 would hold up. And it wasn't a heat issue.
They seem to be worth the few extra pennies in cost.
