I find the easy way to remember this is larger bore master cylinder gives harder (shorter travel) pedal but less mechanical advantage so weaker braking for given amount of right foot.

Larger bore slave cylinder gives softer (longer travel) pedal, more mechanical advantage, better braking.

Adding pressures into the equation adds confusion for me.
