Many reasons to buy one drone over the other. Has VLOS influenced your decision on the size of drone you purchased? Was it high or low 0n your list? I am thinking of the mini 4 or 5 pro if it comes out. But considering VLOS it might be better to buy something larger even for recreational flying. Your thoughts?

Never.

However, the size of the drone can matter if you're planning to do something like attach LEDs to make it easier to see. Smaller drones have limited payload capacity and fewer accessory mounting options.

#1 Its much more fun flying when you can really see your drone.
#2 Seeing your Drone clearly will give you much more confidence in your flying
#3 Guest Friendly

I would put lack of RID broadcasting far above visibility for VLOS! Last thing you want to be doing while flying BVLOS is broadcasting that fact, and your location, to everyone with an RID app!! Mini 4 Pro with regular batteries for the win! LOL!
