Question Replacement Tuner Size for Taylor GS mini (Survey)

I am looking to replace the stock 14:1 tuners on my GS mini with either the 18:1 Taylor standard tuners or the 18:1 Taylor mini (12-string) tuners. I understand that the only difference in these devices is the button size.

I’m hoping to see if folks have made this upgrade and what the opinion is about standard size vs. mini tuners?
-Do the full size tuners look out of proportion?
-Are the smaller ones too small for ease of use?
-Which set of tuners is closest to the size of the stock GS mini tuners?

I don’t have photos to show examples, but perhaps some interested folks might post some to support the survey!

Thank you!

I believe the original gs mini tuners are chrome while the Taylor pings are nickel

I can confirm that the Taylor branded tuners are usually nickel or gold, but they also offer chrome and satin black options. I also can confirm that the tuners on the GS mini Koa Plus are the Taylor branded ping mini tuners, not the standard size—the same ones used on Taylor 12 strings. They are small for my hands but look sharp and perform excellently. These can be purchased from Taylor directly.
