durability of the 72mm bearings vs the older 62mm outer bearings

[smog]

so how many of you are changing the 72mm outer bearings ?

[Dave Smith]

Smog, I've upgraded to the 72mm bearings. It made sense as the max is apart for a stem to stern rehab. The larger bearings have to hold up better, the inner race is much beefier. When I pulled the old ones out, several were broke where the collar locks down. I just dropped the engine back in today so I can't report on the duability, but bigger is better, right?
