If I were you I would concentrate on getting 2 beefy perfectly matched mots  
in there and if you were getting 34" with unmatched mots and various  
losses, who knows you could top the current record. That is often what  
happens though. You want more until you push the coil or component to  
destruction. Sounds like your on the right path but you might have to  
settle for a medium that you and your coil are happy with. :)
Good luck and good job,
Garry
