I saw her about a week ago when she sailed up my side of the island.. and even though i know her dimensions i was shocked to see her size!

"Small" is a relative term, of course. I mean, she's only (cough) 132' long. Of the current mega-sailors and recent Alloys built, she's on the lower end. But like you said, her lines are beautiful. While I admire Tiara, the flybridge kinda' detracts from the overall look. Fox is a happy medium... not too large as to be limited by excessive draft, but definitely not too small either.
