The other issue on storage is where the storage is. In zone storage is imperative to maintaining gravity flow that is so essential to a properly designed system that can meet fire flow. It is a fools game to design to deadhead firefly to pressure zones when needed. Gravity flow is your friend in a fire.

I think reservoir capacity doesn’t matter if pipe capacity is limited.
Sure, more reservoirs mean you can run firehoses for longer. Like, after the fire has burned to the ocean, you can still run firehoses. And that makes a difference how?
