Part of the problem is coming up with a master / slave combination that not only works mechanically, but is half way comfortable to use. When I upped my 3/4" master to a 1", it became unusable. Clutch worked great, but it took all I had to depress the pedal. I had to drop back to a 3/4" master with a little bit longer throw. I think the smaller the master is in relationship to the slave, the easier the pedal is to push. As you increase the master (slave remaining the same), it gets commensurately harder to push (to the point of requiring steriods).
