Day Date 36 or 40 help

In the market for a yellow gold day date. Currently I have a datejust 41 oyster/fluted/slate dial.
Would like opinion on 36 vs 40mm
Disregard the dial. I am going to get either silver or champagne. Just for size reference

First 2 photos are 36mm

Next 2 photos are 4omm

I had and loved the 40.

On you, I think 36 is much better.

My DJs are both 36, from mid 90s n early 2000s, it was the perfect size at that time.
I would go for 40 now

40. For sure. It’s really like 38.8mm.

both look good on you. The 36 shows more bracelet as you look down.
