A 5/8" will move more fluid and unless the law of "you don't get something for nuthing" has been repealed, it will require slightly more effort to push. How much? maybe just enough to notice. Because it moves more fluid I would worry that the slave will travel further at full peddle travel. Will this pop the piston out or cause the seal to leak? This will be transmitted to the clutch arm and the diaphragm spring but because of leverage ratio is likely very small difference.

I'm just hypothesizing here, but wouldn't the bigger bore mean that you're pushing more fluid through, and therefore the clutch slave push rod would travel farther with the same distance from the clutch pedal?  Seems like you would get either more distance from the clutch slave and not adjust the pedal/master, or the same distance on the slave with the clutch pedal adjusted closer to the floor, and all of this with a stiffer pedal no matter what.

 

Another advantage looks like you have a built in reservoir eliminating a plastic res tank and a potential leak/failure.  Looks like a good deal, but my pedal's stiff enough with the roadster clutch, and my master's only a couple years old.

Mike beat me to it...
