Of course everybody likes more a full screen pano than one in a smaller
window, when it is loaded.
What would be interesting is to see if casual users will wait until a
full screen pano is loaded or if they will give up and go to another site.
Large panos require time to download, so if users are not motivated it
is likely that they will not wait.
I also believe that most casual users are not interested in quality, so
they will not see any difference among viewers.
People keep printing photos in minilabs with really bad quality. As long
as they recognize their faces, they are happy.
