Mecanum wheel size

I searched the threads and couldn't find a discussion on this.

Have any teams out there used both 6" and 8" mecanum wheels that may be able to comment on the pros and cons of the two sizes.

We used AndyMark 6" wheels two years ago and had problems with the side plates deforming, but I know this problem has been fixed with thicker plates. Other than that they were great.

Do the 8" wheels give any better traction on a ramp? Do they handle differently? Better or worse?

I'd appreciate any input. ?:-)
