That's interesting Ivan, haven't seen one of those before.
I'm totally in favour of holding more oil, but I think one of the main arguments against using a deeper sump is that it doesn't get warm enough.
I read a technical paper once that showed the contribution of increased sump area / addition of fins was not much to write home about (about 4%). I think it's the additional mass of oil that prevents it heating up properly.
