Here is a useless, but interesting remark about spherical models: the surface area of a spherical hyper-cow reaches maximum in 7 dimensions, then rapidly shrinks to zero. This should give an idea what hyper-cow is ideal.

And the volume reaches its maximum at 5 dimensions.

And the surface area to volume ratio grows without bound
