Default ESC power capacitor question

Is there any advantage/disadvantage of using a capacitor of higher value than what came stock with my esc? I am using a Speed Passion Reventon Pro. It came with a 2200uf 16v 105* capacitor. Would a capacitor with a higher uf and/or voltage value help/hurt or not make a difference? Is there an advantage of using multiple capacitors vs 1 of equivalent value?

If it matters, the car is 2wd, 17.5 "blinky" buggy, w/ 5.05 FDR, 3" battery leads, and 70C batteries.
