Without knowing some more about the particulars, it's hard to give an opinion, a larger diameter cylinder will use more fluid and be slower (if you use the ported pump) and unless you intend to lift something really heavy, the factory cylinder would easily lift all the "approved" implements, do you need more power than that?
Just some thoughts...

Sorry, it's for a 1450. I picked up a 3 spool valve to replace the single valve under the dash. My plan is to make it a tri-stick; 1 for the deck, 1 for 3 pt, and one split to front/rear hyd outlets. I know larger dia will be slower, but I'm increasing bore dia 1/4"-1/2" over stock cylinder, didn't think it would slow much. A 1/4" increase (according to my math) is good for an extra 115 lb at the end of the lift arm. Do I need more power? No, but more power is always just right!
I'm just curious, and with everyone else's knowledge of other equipment, if someone knew of a cylinder that might give a little extra power and still fit. Just exploring all options.
Jonathan, a ql cylinder is my fallback, I don't want to have it mounted outside on the back.
Thanks
