I will say its not always about size, but about weight. The ETS is much heavier which means it can absorb and dissipate alot more heat.

Not at steady-state. The heat capacity of added mass will let it take some extra heat, until it is "warmed" up. At that point it is purely a function of surface area. A larger core does not necessarily equal more surface area, so the right question is how much more AS do we get?
