I read an article a while ago (if I can find it again I will post a link) that explained a lot about the dynamics within the oil filtering process.
What the article claimed was that under hard acceleration the difference in pressure between one side of the filter (unfiltered oil) and the other (the filtered oil) would be too large, and to keep oil flowing through the engine at a normal rate some oil would have to be pulled through the filter container but around the actual filter rather than through it.
The idea for the larger filter is that it can filter a greater volume of oil so that under full throttle the engine is still receiving 100% filtered oil, rather than some filtered oil with some unfiltered oil.
I do think though (and some others have mentioned this) that the biggest thing you need to be concerned with is how well the oil holds up to chemical changes within the engine (viscosity changes, breakdown of the oil and additives, etc.).
Just some food for thought.
