Regarding the smaller pistons moving farther, that is a good 
thought, but brakes are not about movement so much as
force, and the larger pistons will exert more force, and
more stopping power.  Also why the master cyl is
such a small bore, to give mathamatical advantage
over the wheel cyl and disc pistons.
(espec when combined with brake pedal, which
acts as a lever)  
I can dig out the formulas but Im sure one of the list
engineers out there already has...
