Kapex dust collection

Here is a link to the hose that I use.

I thought that I had bought it at Home Depot but I could not find it on their site so I took a look at Lowes and there it was.

I am using a dust deputy, which involves a small tube. 
I am using the small hose.  Would there be anything gained from running a big hose to it?

I figure I am getting about 75% collection now, which is maybe double what I got with a partial enclosure and a DC on my Dewalt; so I am am pretty happy.  But if I can further cut the dust in half with a new hose...

I hooked up my Ridgid shop vac to the saw today just to see how much of a difference there would be between it and the CT22 with the stock hose and it was night and day.  The Ridgid vac (with a 2 1/2" hose) probably got 90% of the sawdust, with the stock hose on the 22 it's about 50%.  I'll pick up the larger hose at Lowes when I have a chance.  Why would they include their smallest hose with the second largest vac.  It would seem to make sense to make the 36mm hose standard with the 22 and the 33.
