Hopefully this is the right place for this......

I'm about to order myself some circular silver, gold and white reflectors and it seems I have two options - 32" and 42". It's one or the other, not both (they come in a set).

Theres very little difference in cost between them, so it's a pure choice on size. The lighting side of my brain says bigger the better to handle more light but I don't know if people find the larger 42" versions unwieldy to handle outdoors. I'm planning to mostly use them outdoors for portraiture without an assistant and would rather not be running backwards and forwards repositioning when the wind picks them up.

Anyone got any thoughts/comments before I order?
 
I would say wind will pick up both reflectors and you'll be running anyways. I'd go for the slightly bigger one as you can always make some sort of cover to make it into a smaller reflector.
