I think it's pointless to have a large sump to only fill it with 8" of water. That's only like 30 gal.
I'm the opposite. I like having extra unused volume in my sump to catch water from the display in case of power outage. But then again, my return is drilled several inches down and so quite a large volume drains from the display. Knowing I have excess capacity in the sump helps me sleep better. Also, my sump is a 90g wide, so it's only 18" tall, which means with a 9" baffle, I have 45g volume filled and 45g to spare.
