I would go for the bigger block for a lot of the things BG has mentions. Saying that though I do live the 15-20 minutes out of town and it is a pita with making friends. I grew up in Launceston, so my full answer would depend on exactly where you were choosing to live. From talking to friends who still live there, there can be a real issue getting tradies for renovations. One live on a bit of a slope,which is far from unusual for L'ton, and they had real trouble getting trades (like roofers) to give them a quote. Depending on the trade many do not want the small jobs, or they are only interested in working on new builds.
ETA: whilst 20 minutes is not far for many of us, my experience in Tassie is that many think it is too far. I was actually one of those people when I lived there :blush:
