If you got to 5500, you are not working the motor too hard at all. With a light load, you are right where you should be.
When you turned and got the ventilation, did you trim down or did you keep it trimmed up? If you kept it trimmed up, I would bet you could trim down just a touch and it would stay hooked up a bit better.
If you go steel, you would see a drop in RPM if you go same pitch, but if you can find a good 18 pitch performance series (yamaha) or equivalent, you could probably raise the motor one more hole and you'd be pretty close to the 5500 yet.
Overall, sounds like the move up is working for you...
