Smaller, but nothing really saved here, except a little bit less steel. And he's a very skillful person.

?? eh?

...and I always thought the purpose of making a smaller version
of a thing was to, ummm, well let's see.. oh yeah make it smaller!

nothing really saved? what a curious thing to say! As a person who has been known to make a smaller version of some things from time to time myself it's just one of those statements that makes me go hmmmm...

Please don't construe my observation of what you said as a
personal attack, rather I found it extraordinary.

I wish I had that kind of skill. never mind the patience...
