Interesting point - I checked out the distances and they are all similar (give or take 10 million ly's.
NGC1365 65 million ly (extends 200,000 ly)
NGC1097 53 million ly
NGC1566 51 million ly
I selected these based on an astroplanner search sorted by angular size and magnitude. Judging by the image scale in the pictures I guess that means they are all similar in actual size?
