If you are satisfied with the towing comfort provided by your current TT/TV combo which from your post apparently you do, why the query if you have worked out the math. Without any real weights I would say you are pretty close to what your current TV could tow safely and comfortably, no need to have someone else justify or rebuke your experience. If you're happy you're good to go.
Some like lots of safety margin, others want to utilize every last ounce of payload, in either event as long as manufacturer limits aren't exceeded one can expect to get where they are going while towing. Our TT can vary in weight by nearly 2K# (if we bring toys/water) depending on the trip we have planned, from our experience towing comfort degrades significantly the closer we are to max.
