Does KPA1500 have these KPA500 characteristics?

While trying to run my KPA500 at full-tilt--but as cool as possible--in digital modes, I have noticed over the years that:
1). The KPA500 actually runs cooler at just-below-fault power output than it does at either 500 or even 400 watts output.
2)  The KPA500 runs substanitally cooler at a 1:1 SWR than it does at even 1.2:1.
Does the KPA1500 also do this?  I'd appreciate actual experience more  than conjecture.
Thanks and 73,
