I really don't mind the large dimensions of figure (head and body) textures - the resolution can be handy for portrait work and I can resize them down (and I do most of the time), so I wouldn't want those vendors to get the wrong idea. The thing that bugs me is what appears to be a trend in props and accessories toward large texture sizes that are created by SCALING UP an otherwise small texture - apparently just so they can advertise the larger texture size. Unfortunately all these textures do is waste resources. So to those who make textures, if you have to size-up (enlarge) a material just to make a higher resolution final MAT, they you are just wasting everybody's time and resources.
