I agree that there is definitely such a thing as too big of a layout. It will differ from person to person, but there is a point where it's too big, and there is also a point where you will find yourself making compromises to complete a larger layout. While some people don't mind taking 30 years to build a masterpiece, others might rather get to a finished point in 2 (and even if you like the idea of taking 30 years to complete your masterpiece, think about the possibility of having to move for whatever reason). Some people will have bigger budgets than others. Some people will have more help than others (some people will want to do it all on their own to begin with). And some people have more talent and skills than others. Some people are going to detail their layouts a little more than others, and some layout styles are going to require more work per square foot than others (city-scape vs. middle of the desert, for example). So I would take that and more into consideration when deciding how much of that space to use on a layout. ---jps
