If the compressor can compress to a higher pressure it will need more power!

If pressure is your performance measurement it will perform better!

You need to look at the thermal capability curve for your particular generator. Generally speaking higher H2 pressure results in greater cooling and increased power output from the generator...up to a point. Overpressure the generator and H2 starts leaking through the seals, and we all know how dangerous a H2 fire can be.
