I tend to think the current "bigger is better" trend with tanks is much like the trend the worlds navys keep following with ships.

Galley=>Bireme=>Trireme
Frigate=>Galleon=>Ship-of-the-Line
Dreadnaught=>1930's era Battleship=>WW II era Battleship
Etc.

Eventually they get too big to be practical and everyone down-sizes.

If not...well...I guess the term "Bolo" may not be pure sci-fi after all in another 20-30 years.
