One thing that is bothering me a bit in this thread is that some people are talking about the slower ramp up in power of a big turbo like it's a feature. I understand that it's better for the drivetrain not to be overcome with power too quickly, but we do have throttles we can modulate and having the option to use power lower in the powerband is arguably better than not.
Other than that, I agree with everything else being said about the benefits of a bigger turbo.

At the end of the day its a "different strokes for different folks" type of deal.
Some people will love the instant torque hit and will be willing to compromise a turbo that will fall flat on its face at the end.
Others will hate that, and will want a turbo that progressively makes more power and keeps pulling pulling and pulling up to redline.
The main difference between both aside from feeling, is that one is already maxed out while the other has room from improvement.
I have owned both (on this car) and let's just say I am happier with my current (room for improvement) setup.
