What do you mean by "size", given that you have specified it in plain 
metres, not square or cubic?

If you really want to go down that route then why not map the object as 
an area or even in "2.5d" as an area plus height?

PS: The same "importance" thing pops up with regard to towns and 
villages - a town in rural England may have more "map significance" than 
one of the dozens of cities that surround Paris.
