Jim,

More mass generally means more core material. This means that the core can
handle more power without too much leakage.

As always if you are scrounging look for the biggest core, the thickest
wire, highest voltage etc. I would only really pair up transformers that
have a close voltage/current rating, and that are similar in mass, style,
etc. However, if you have lots of other MOTs, try it and see, and if they
die cut off the wire and use the cores for ballasts!!!

Best Regards,
