There are a few reasons why I have become hooked on "big," however, with today's gyros, smaller foamies do fly "bigger." And I love the micros, and I know bigger means more money, but for me the expense is proportional to the enjoyment.
1) You typically get more, and can add more scale detail to a larger plane.
2) Since the inertia is higher, it does "feel" and fly more like a scale plane. Also, the "speed scale" is more realistic.
3) Visibility and presence are the biggest factors for me. A high speed pass, T & Gs, everything looks more scale with a bigger wow factor.
This is personal presence of course, and there is a lot to be said about the transportability, expense, and storage of smaller models.
