Lezyne Road Drive - Medium vs Large?

I'm about to order a Lezyne Road drive but really cannot decide whether to go for the medium or large? Obviously the medium will take more pumps to reach the same pressure. Is the difference worth the additional weight/size?
After speaking with Merlin it appears they only stock the medium ones...
Any experiences with either much appreciated.

Had the same decision to make just before Christmas and went with the medium. Takes 180 strokes to get 23mm michelin pro 4 endurance (brilliant tyres by the way) up to a pressure of 110 psi. Not hard to do, you don, t have to be a body builder to get the air in. Fits easily underneath the bottle holder and sticks out maybe an inch or so above and below the bottle holder so doesn, t look an eyesore on the bike. So looks good, does what its supposed to do without any hassle. Happy days. The larger one may do the job quicker but will obviously take up more space. Hope this helps but I, m sure whichever one you go for will do an excellent job. Happy riding.0

I've got a Co2 inflator, and yes it works but I've been stuck with two punctures and no cylinders left. I think a decent pump is the way to go. Plus its cheaper considering 90% of my mileage is commuting.0

Lovely bit of kit these.

I have a medium for the summer bike and a large for the winter bike.
Obviously it takes less strokes on the large and as the winter bike is already loaded with guards and lights its not too bad looking.
I use have the medium as back up for Co2 in summer but have seen too many instances of frozen open valves in the winter to bother with CO2 on winter bike.
Either pump is fantastic, especially if you get the V2 with ABS (pressure release for the hose).Coach H. (Dont ask me for training advice - 'It's not about the bike')0 -
Have just bought the medium after a similar decision.
Very impressed with the quality of build the pump, although not used it yet.
A big plus for me is it fits in the rear pocket of my jerseys (doubt the large size would ) as I dont like to have it strapped to my bike as (i) dont like the look of having a pump strapped to my bike and (ii) the pump would be open to the elements.
Having said that the fitting to the attach the pump to the bike looks very good quality.0
