There is a reason the manufacturer gives a recommended tracking force range. For one thing, within that range the coils are properly centered and sound quality suffers outside that range. Also, the suspension parts and cantilever are not being overly stressed within that range and stylus wear is minimized by not exceeding that range.
The US distributor of a line of MC cartridges stated that the manufacturer can tell by microscopic examination when a user has exceeded the recommended force by .2 grams or more and that will void the warranty.
Lyras specify a quite narrow range. I would try to stick to that range; the manufacturer knows its product.
