  Im not hugely experienced, im sure @coldharbour or @skant can give you a more comprehensive answer, but afaik tube stiffness is relative to diameter more than material. So oversize tubing will build a stiffer frame. It is certainly noticeable. I just built a frame with a 38mm dt. Compared to the frame i built prior to this with a 31.8mm down tube it is much stiffer.
