      Presumably higher capacity and maybe better output.

      But like, honestly? Data nuked a dam from miles away with a single shot from the Dustbuster hand phaser.

          Vulcan Science Academy: “Why do you need another warp core?”

          Humans: “we’re going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast.”

          VSA: “Last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast.”

          Humans: “Hahaha, yeah. It did, though.”

          VSA: “IT EXPLODED.”

          Humans: “it exploded twice as fast.”
