My intuition tells me that if my configuration reaches maximum current (and power) with 3s, than once you switch to higher voltage, than the motor that now has 15V instead of 11V will use less AMPs to achieve the same working point (maximum power).
What's wrong with this logic?

Yes, it takes e.g. 47A to reach 500 Watt on 3S LiPo, and it takes 35A to reach 500 Watt on 4S. And of course you need to use different propellers to achive this.
This is true if you are willing to go to a smaller prop. I figure it would take something like an 11x5 turning about 11,700 rpm to match your current 550 watts. Try it and tell us how you like the performance of the plane with the small high rpm prop vs. the larger slower turning prop.
