In the market for a high-end grinder, should I care about burr size?

Hi guys! I finally got some countertop space and I am ready to buy an amazing flat-burr grinder!
I want a grinder that can ensure the best quality grind out there, without unnecessarily breaking the bank toooo hard. I care about the UX part of it slightly, but really what is important to me is the grind quality.
In my searches I stumbled accross the Lagom P64. I like the design of it, and the fact that it comes with SSP burrs is very nice. However, I saw it only has a 64mm burr.
I read that bigger burrs will last longer and grind faster, which is sort of obvious. Besides that, some websites claim that a bigger burr will also grind better. Is this true? It's not obvious to me how burr size would influence grind quality…

There's also the weber EG1 of course, which also has the bigger burrs, or the Lagom P100, but they are much pricier. Considering that I won't be able to sleep at night knowing that there's a home-use grinder that grinds better than mine, should I go bankrupt and buy a Lagom P100/weber EG1/Something else with big bad SSP burrs, or should I stay with the smaller, cheaper but still powerful Lagom P64?
