Well now lets see.
Small Pan - Std qty of Trans fluid
Large Pan - Dbl the std qty of fluid.
Small Pan - Steel - no cooling fins
Large Pan - Aluminum with cooling ribs.
Sorry my friend... IMO, there is a difference in keeping said fluids cool and for me that is a plus....I'll take my "larger" pan any day of the week. It never was about "cool" (can't really see the damn thing anyway..)

I have a tru-cool max trans cooler, and my trans temp when heavy towing doesn't get over about 180/190 degrees down here in the hot humid climate of FL. My truck is a '96 F350 7.3L. No larger pan required. You might gain a little bit more cooling effect in the higher temp ranges, like above 240/250 degrees, but really, you should never be that high anyway. The biggest difference is always made when using auxiliary coolers.
