More surface area does not mean more friction. But it does mean less wear. The other advantage of big valves is that you get a free and easy-blowing horn, which means you can really play loud when you want to. The disadvantage (at least with these Nirschl pistons) is that you need hands like a gorilla just to reach the buttons.
