Upped my LED to 75%

That would be too high,,,but,,, calibrating it too the viparspectra map probably isn't very accurate. I think you will be ok where you are at, just watch for drooping as lights out approachs, if any shows up turn the lights down a bit.
Drooping leaves are not considered a sign of too much light though, like you, I have done that in previous grows. When I saw the plants droop, I thought I'd hit them with too much light so I cut back the light levels "just in case".

No mas.

For one reason, there's no research to indicate that's why plants droop. Second, I don't think I've seen any chart or source that lists drooping leaves as a symptom of too much light.

I agree, it makes sense at some level but I think that's ascribing abilities to a plant for plant which a does not have a mechanism to do so.
 
My MarsHydro SP6500 is about that distance. When all plants were budding, I went to full power. I'm running the light continuously.

It was as obvious as the nose on my face, With 3-4 hours left I have had many a plant start drooping, turn down the light intensity or as in my last grow I installed a sunscreen over the plant and viola, she stopped drooping.

If the plant looks fine at lights on and sometime closer to lights off(A few hours) it starts drooping and recovers during lights off it most certainly indicates the plant has met its DLI well before lights off.
