A bigger unit would flow more and start getting choked up by the amount of flow of the actual motor, thats when you would see PSI start to rise.
So no, its not that people are obsessed with psi numbers, its that you could be making more power because the ENGINE is capable of flowing more than the SC does.

I agree with you 100%. I didn't comment directly on that aspect, but it's part of the same issue. So the converse is that with a smaller sc unit, if you increase flow by reducing restriction, the boost number goes down. Additionally, I'm not even saying using the smaller unit is bad. It allows for peak boost to be achieved at lower rpms and makes the powerband more useable.
