I like it the way it is, but cant see how a bigger loop would be a disadvantage.

Indeed, it will also be nice for riders to be able to easily replace the part as it wears out. Less expensive than replacing the whole thing.

Please try to keep the whole CL release unit short so the loop itself is nice and close to the bar when unhooked.  With too much distance between the loop and bar, switching to a larger loop puts the bar too far out.
