Switched from a 50 ton to a 90 ton for a job near Austin, huge difference

We had a tight pick on a school roof in Round Rock and the 50 ton was maxing out on every lift, so the boss swapped in a 90 ton and suddenly we had room to spare. The bigger machine felt slower to set up but the load chart gave us way more options for boom angles without re-rigging. Anyone else find that picking a bigger crane saves more time than fighting the smaller one's limits?

Buddy of mine ran a 60 ton on a bridge job and spent all day re-rigging. Swapped to an 80 ton and finished two hours early. Bigger machine, less headache.
