Well I can't disagree, there is the "Ooh, Bigger!" reaction, and the
cover art is just more fun at the larger size.

Ok.. I'll putz with the wiki and see if I can write it up. Smaller

Alas, I wasn't smart enough to take process photos while making the
alterations, so the only pictures I have are of the finished box.
