Large volume only makes temperature changes happen more slowly, Max temp will still be the same just takes longer to get there. Faster flow will help as it will create turbulence in the water but that requires bigger pumps and most of the heat generated by the pumps goes into the water so it's somewhat self defeating. The gains are probably positive but suspect they're marginal provided the small pump is big enough. I use CPX-1's (which are considered pretty tiny) and I'm quite happy.
