I far prefer perlite to vermiculite.
You could go up to about a third perlite but here's the thing:
More perlite= better drainage and easier to fix overfert problems, BUT you have to be more watchful about letting the soil dry out.
I'd try 20-25% in that soil and see how your plants like it.

I mix about 20% perlite and 10% vermiculite with good potting soil.

Perlite lets soil dry out better. Vermiculite helps soil hold moisture. Perlite is more important by far.
