Default Rear Master Cylinder

I've decided to go with Wilwood calipers all the way around. Now I'm up in the air with what I wanna do with the rear master cylinder, after all, it is over 20 years old. From what I've read, the stock rear master cylinder bore is 11/16". Wilwood sells a 5/8" master cylinder. Would the smaller 5/8" piston make that much of an improvement. Just trying to decide to rebuild or replace.

Sometimes we have to just play it by ear and give new ideas a shot. Just be sure if it doesn't work for ya as well as you would have liked you let us all know the good,bad and ugly.
