>Why would size even matter?
Cuz when you make a structure bigger, your shit gets like, all fucked up, r-tard.
larger mid-format printers are already noticeably slower than the smaller counterparts ,especially due to increased belt length and also flex in the extrusions, so it becomes a much more involved engineering problem because you have to troubleshoot those issues and it will slow down your design process 10x.
I've seen a research paper on high temp inverted delta printer which allows the hot air to stay at the top of the chamber, and the steppers are as far away as possible.

>With decent quality lead screw and oldham coupler
The Trident is a moving bed and the 2.4 has the four-point gantry.
>an overengineered solution
In both of these cases most of the engineering is done already. Can you retrofit those oldham couplers onto the existing design?
>I'm wondering if the voron 2.4 is really worth the effort over a trident.
Neither of them is really that much more effort to build. The 2.4 triggers me because the gantry has to flex and it's not theoretically ideal, and the trident triggers me because the bed moves, which is fckin dumb.
Check out the bed mounting on the K3, it's got those ball bearing linear rods which look like the most autistiperfect(TM) solution possible.
If your goal is reduced Z-banding, you should build whatever and instead put effort into troubleshooting that later, which may have more to do with the extruder. But the trident has external steppers (better for high temperature) and better thermal distribution and the 2.4 has much lower CG.
