Well you've gotten great advice from the other gals, and since you saw modeling photos for a City, I will add photos of my bags together so you can compare sizes. In the first photo, there is two City's in the top row, and a Box and Twiggy on the bottom. Photo #2 has a First and a City. In photo #3 I put the bottoms up so gals could get an idea how big the new Matelasse style is. So from left to right, it is a First, a Box, a City, a Matelasse, two City's, and another First. In the last photo at the top is the Matelasse, in the middle row all City's, and in the bottom row a First, a Box, and another First. In looking at the photos the First looks incredibly small compared to the other bags, but as said here in the thread more can fit into it than you would think. My favorite small bag however that is not too small is the Box style, and my favorite large bag that is not too large is the City. I can take some modeling photos later if you want to see the other styles being held. Good luck in your choice, and make sure to post pictures when you get your bag!
