All I know is back when I was driving my 190c fintail, I bought a 220b fintail for parts. I was going to switch the starter figuring that the 220 starter would be more powerful due to the larger displacement. When I started to put in in the car i found the 190 starter was actually noticibly larger than the 220 starter. I always figured it was because of the bigger pistons. I guess a six would have two or more in various stages of compression too by your theory.
So maybe you better tell the MB engineers to think more.
