Size matters. Or does it?

Last month YouTube began offering a choice of larger sizes for its embedded videos.

The default used to be 425 pixels wide (above) but now you can choose 480 (below)

or 640 (below).

Any thoughts from the peanut gallery on which one I should go with from now on?

I've used the 640 iteration the past few weeks but no one's said a word (to me at least) about the increase.

I'm inclined to go with "bigger is better" unless there's dissent.

I vote for the largest size

I vote for medium. The largest size has the poorest pixel quality- and is there a difference in the time it takes to load up? I'm want things to load quickly.

BIGGER! PLEASE!!!

And/or an actual link address. Fun to look at related vids.

Anyhoo - thank you for also using a readable font size. Too many sites seem to think the equivalent of 6-point type is good, which it is not - even paperback books use at last 8-point, and you hold a book closer than your computer screen - for some reason.

Oh, I like the big version, please, please. If my contacts aren't in I can see it really good from six inches away instead of with my oily, grubby nose right on the screen like I have to do with the small one.

And speaking of bigger, I wonder if Humphrey is. Any bigger around, I mean. I realize it's none of my business, and I would never accuse you of having anything but the fittest and sleekest of felines, but if he goes out, he could be supplementing. Some of those backyard snacks probably have a high fat content.

The larger size is easy on the eyes too. That cat is great :)
