Was thinking of doing this upgrade in the future. Wanted to get some feed back from anyone using spools that wide. I've heard rumors about friction and heat on a micro level but I don't believe it. More volume with less height is what's attractive to me.
I also feel like it'd be easier to get in there and clean them out. I like the idea of not having to clamp multiple 4" spools together as well.
Obviously a bottom flood would be most efficient with that diameter. I want someone to make a bowl shaped triclamp to npt end cap that has a diffuser inside it to spray the liquid around evenly for a top wash setup. Any importers care to hop on it? The design would have to be able to flow both ways for the bottom flood to work. The bowl shape will make use of more surface area of your screen gasket than a simple end cap reducer would.
