No such thing as a pilot valve that's too big ;)

haha well even though it has a high flow isn't it more efficient to have a airtight check-valved piston and a smaller pilot ?

Having a big pilot to compensate for a shítty piston is inefficient

Having a big pilot on a well made (say with a floating o-ring) piston gives you better performance, but you don't lose efficiency.
