Does impeller size matter?

My concern is throwing slushy, wet Maryland snow. I have a Yard-Man (MTD) 7HP 24" snow thrower which can barely move my MD slush, so I'd like to replace it with the thread of a snowy winter. I'm looking at a (leftover?) Troy-Bilt 10530 vs. the JD 1130. The most significant mechanical difference that I note between the two is that the Troy-Bilt has a 16" impeller and the JD has a 12". Both have similar HP/torque. Can I expect the Troy-Bilt to have better throwing ability, or is there more to impeller design than just size?
