Theres no denying that there is no substitute for cubic inches. If you make an engine that can rev, and make torque then you're going to make big power. Obviously these engines are big, and hence are making a lot of torque. A lot of time and money has been spent into making them produce as much torque as possible, and hold together while revving.
So therefore I'm going to agree with you, that when all out power is considered, bigger is better obviously.
The spanner in the works is that for a bigger engine comes more weight, which throws off handling balance, and more weight counters (although probably not to a huge extent) the performance afforded by the engine. All things being equal, when developed to the same "usable" power level I know I'd rather have the smaller engine.
One other example would be the JGTC Supras. They can make the same power with the 3SGTE as they can with the 2JZGTE, but the 3S weighs less and is smaller which benefits the cars handling.
I think that pretty much covers my view on the subject
PS. I'm a fan of either in the right situation, my car is currently receiving a 1GGTE, but the other option was a 1UZFE. They both weigh about the same from what I gather, they are both about the same length, but the 1UZFE only lost out on a cost basis.
