Let me just state that I believe a filter should not need any modding at all.
I think the manufacturers should be able to sell a product that works just fine right out of the box. In fact, I believe that any modding like extra pre-canister, exchange of original media etc. may cause extra wear and tear on the pumps, which I am trying to avoid.
The 2028 and 2217 have the same flow rate (272 vs 263 gph).
The 2028 hold approx. 3 gal, the 2217 holds approx. 1.7 gal.
You could buy two 2217s for the price of one 2028.
I'd get two 2217 if you really need that extra biofiltration, or a 2250 if you have that big of a tank.
On the other hand, I used to have the Pro I, the first of the series, and it was a good filter.

how would it cause extra wear on the pump the water is draining from the tank as normal
the flow out of each intake pipe is the same
