All you get is phase problems. If you want to have more "room", just add a good reverb (there is plenty of it in the axefx)
An IR with 170ms length is not really doing a "room"-job, IMHO. If you add some room IRs with 500 ms length via audio workstation, you would get some nice ambient content. But not in a hardware player at this time. And the Axe is still the tool with the longest IRs with its 170 ms.
I'll add, pre-convolution 500ms IR files look pretty on the screen, but once you deconvolve them and listen to them head to head with the same mic in the same position on the same cab close mic in a properly treated room, you won't hear a difference between 500ms and 170ms with most FRFR and most studio monitors in most rooms where people perform or listen to music.
Baking reflective or lively room characteristics into an IR totally defeats the purpose of an IR. Then when you are playing through it, you are hearing that baked in room in addition to the room where your FRFR or studio monitors are reproducing the sound. It almost gives you an audio version of a Moebius strip where you are hearing room sound on top of room sound. If the room where the IR is recorded is a little more lively sounding, the 500ms IR will take on the characteristics of the room in such a way, that when you play it back in your room, unless you are listening in an anechoic chamber, your brain starts to interpret it more as a reverb that you can't dial out more than the sensation of pushing air with a cranked cab.
I did 3 months of extensive testing on these concepts in various environments before I put out my Silver & Black Volume 1 collection. I am sure
@funkstation777 did similar testing as well as others in the industry. If there was a way to simulate that feeling at lower volumes through a speaker other than by sheer brute force off-axis volume, the recording industry would have pimped that technique for all it's worth years ago. Even if you play in a 5.1 surround array, the feeling is just not there unless you are listening off axis and pushing a lot of volume.
If you want more room, turn up the room parameter in the cab block and adjust the mic spacing for the size of your head,or adjust the wet mix on your reverb and play at gig level volume.
If you want the rumble of the cab pushing air in your IR, mix in either a mic in back of cab IR or a PZM IR in small amounts of the cab to get the rumble. Mix in too much of either option and it sounds like you are playing in a pizza box or a bad demo.
At this point the only reason I am producing 500ms IR files is that people ask me to produce them.
