My husband once found a source (I’ll have to check the details with him later) that says not to say “ad meih v’esrim”, as why limit the scope of your Bracha? (It is used due to Moshe Rabbeinu, as mentioned earlier, not because it’s the “maximum” one can live). We say “ad bias goal tzedek” (obviously implying and beyond as well!)
