Dutch oven sizing question

Is there any benefit to getting a 7qt DO over something smaller like a 4qt if you are typically only cooking for 3-4 people. I know the rule of them 1qt per person but is there anything the 4qt cant really do a 7qt could?

Update: was shopping and found a Clarke and Davis 3qt for $15 so I can use that to get an idea on sizing before I buy into a Staub.

SV08 Max Issue

I’ve already contacted support and am awaiting a response but wanted to post here in case someone else has a suggestion.

I’ve had the SV08 Max for 2 weeks and it’s been quite the workhorse for large projects. A solid heat soak and running the chamber fans makes printing PLA a breeze and bed adhesion hasn’t been an issue at all. All in I’m approaching 200 hours on the machine so when I say it’s been a workhorse I mean it’s been getting things done.

The last 2 days I have a new issue that I’m pretty much stuck on. At some point during a print the control board will lose connection to the extra mcu in the toolhead. I verified if I move the toolhead manually (nothing crazy, just repositioning it) I can manually trigger the issue as well. I’ve tried reseating the toolhead umbilical cables on both end of the connection with no success. The disconnect points to an issue either with the wiring to the toolhead or the toolhead board itself. I don’t see any obvious issues anywhere on the toolhead and the cable doesn’t really have any kinks in it. My current theory is a bad solder joint on one of the connectors on the toolhead where a move is shifting a cable just enough to cause a disconnect.

UPDATE:
Support responded to me asking for invoice number (completely valid) and any videos I can provide of the issue occurring. I responded within 10 minutes and got an immediate response support is closed for the weekend. Not a great first interaction with support if I'm being honest.
