Thank you for covering some decks I've not seen before! My first deck was the Rider-Waite and I never get it to 'work' for me.

I agree with your suggestions and tips for choosing a deck. Good to have more than one for different energies.

I was told, when I was wondering why the cards have to be so big (I'm also a small handed person) that they were made that way so that you would have to pay attention, focus your energy, on the reading rather than feel that you could shuffle them in a more casual way like playing cards.
