I agree with both statements.  Any well thought out and well designed model
deserves praise, and I enjoy well designed models of all sizes.

Building bigger and keeping it well thought out is a challenge though.
Especially when dealing with detailing interior spaces efficiently and
believably.  But, its a challenge, and its fun. :-)

I won't jump on you for it, but *shrug*, I really don't think you had to.

Some models don't have to be either to be great.  Sometimes you can't beat
simplicity, espeically for a simple subject (say, a delivery van).  Innovative
stuff is cool though - MOCs that do things, that connect in certain ways, or use
a unique technique to hold together.

I guess you could sum all of this discussion up as 'size doesn't matter,
creativity and effectiveness do.'
