What about directly cooling a TEC, does that work any better because of the large surface area?

It can't. The pelts have to be clamped, so direct cooling is not possible, but I suppose someone could get really creative and find a way to do just that...
It can be done, with the block I was telling you about earlier, their was a version of it that supported it. The pelt was just clamped inbetween the block and a coldplate, similar to the maze series. The probolem is that you actually don't get much surface area compared to a block, so you need a ton of flow to get it to work.
