I would think a full gas 1500m race feels like a 20 min bike FTP test in terms of pacing or a 5K running race. You're playing around with being on the edge of blowing up and trying to sit on that pace/number and not overcook it.
Yeah, I think that's a good analogy. Trying to increase my pace by 1 sec per 100 put me over the cliff. That's roughly equivalent to a run pace differential of 5 seconds/mile.

What is the National Qualify Time for your age group?20:33.30 for M 45-49 1650. In general, the USMS Short Course cuts are harder than Long Course cuts, and the distance event cuts (200+) are harder than the sprint cuts. Since there's no Long Course Nationals this year (US is hosting the Masters Pan Ams. instead), there aren't any Long Course cuts published. But last year, the Men's 45-49 1500 was 21:34.51. That "converts" to a ~21:09 1650.
