In terms of a reflector, yes, 14" does seem small to me. I have other reflectors (see below), though, so my target's size doesn't worry me too much.

I suspect RFS will provide some of his thoughts on the best sizes for the Photovision target.

My first target was the 34" one. I found it a bit large for the kinds of things I did. I sometimes do product shots in a 3' x 3' x 3' light tent and it was very hard to use the 34" target in that, for example.

Yes, it did make a good reflector, but I have other fold up reflectors that are much more suitable for reflecting type tasks. I wanted a target that I could carry around in my back pocket and the 14" size was ideal for that.

The later targets are even better than the earlier ones because they have a focus target on the B/G/W side.

I do use the 14" target as a reflector for head shots. I have the model hold it under her chin just out of sight of the viewfinder which bounces some light back up under eyes, hairline, etc.

Cheers,
