Question Why go bigger?

Obviously my last question was to vague. What I want to know is what is the overriding reason to use a bigger diameter mirror in imaging?

Is it purely to get the focal length to frame the object better with your specific CCD size or does it give you resolution or contrast gains? Other than focal length are there any reasons to choose say a 12" GSO RC over a 6" GSO RC?

I am in the process of getting an STL-11000, I have a Losmandy G11 with an O-Vision worm and I'm thinking of buying a 10" GSO RC. Is this a good match?
