The good thing about cloaking its that it have the potential to make small ships valuables to the very end. When you make large ships capable of cloaking you throw that away.
I just don't like the "bigger it's better" aproach.
Also, big hulls should be desproportionaly expensier than small hulls.
Check out what happened to Battleships after WW2, when they became nothing more than ultra expensive missile launching platforms.
And of course history doesn't repeat itself, and what happened after WW2 doesn't need to happen again.
But its a good balancing twist.
