The large is easily the "most popular" sized Egg but by your description I think you should hands down go with the XL. When I bought mine I was afraid the XL was going to be overkill but Im really glad I splurged for it now. To much real estate is never a bad thing! Kinda like hunting ground ... even if you don't get to cover it all today, you can use it tomorrow. My XL with 5 racks and temp controller is now a Jerky making machine. Hope you like your Egg as much as I have mine! Im having an absolute blast and my wife is loving that I now enjoy cooking. Egging is a good excuse to partake in some adult beverages too!
