I would not recommend using 85* caps in place of 105* caps. They can overheat and vent easily, especially if the board is in a poorly ventilated case. Substituting 3300uF in place of 2700uF is fine, I've done it MANY times with no probs.

The 85* caps will work for a while, but if they overheat, say adios to them, they will fail.
