What sort of change should be expected from a bigger false bottom?

So I've been brewing in my new system with a 10" false bottom, cannibalized from my old cooler MLT. My new MLT is 19.5" in diameter so I realized that was sort of silly and my new custom false bottom with dip tube should arrive in the mail any day so I'm wondering what sort of change I can expect.

Will I really have to adjust my technique at all? Faster flow rates on my HERMS for recirculation and lautering? Higher efficiency? Or will it basically be the same, but with less risk of stuck sparge?
