Exactly! it's all relative... When we decided to downsize from 40 we started looking at 30 footers and couldn't find one we thought we could live with, having experienced the larger space.

That said, the OP is moving up so like you, even a 30ish footer will seem much larger. At the same time there's something to be said for skipping a step when it comes to the inevitable 2 footitis, if you know you're seriously into it, know you can afford/support it , and know that you'll have a place to keep it.
