To my mind a small telescope can be 'big' if its heavy and cumbersome to set up.
My definition relating to portability.

Small scope = grab and go

medium scope = can be transported and set up by one person without undo grunting or risk of muscle/back strain.

big scope = requires two or more people to move and set up safely.
