Should i use a different filter?

Iv just read that the flow rate for the Jaguar AJ6 (in my locost) and AJ16 (in my tintop) have an oil flow rate of 71 litres per minute. Now Jaguar recommended oil filters are only 45.5 litres per minute. I know this wont cause a problem as most jags are probably running these but ideally, should i be using an oil filter with a higher flow rate?

Oil filters don't filter all the oil going around, only some, the rest goes round unfiltered and hopefully gets filtered again next time round

But it is strained at the oil pickup.
