Size of tubers matter?

Hello all. My first time last year I tried a dahlia tuber purchased from a big box store (pink topmix). I planted the whole mass in a pot, and was rewarded with an even bigger mass at summer's end. I've just checked my tubers, and most look well, yet I only have space to grow a couple this year (renting but moving to a home with a larger yard later this summer-yippee), and am wondering, when choosing which tuber to plant and taking into account I can see eyes on my selections, does a bigger tuber give a more robust plant than a smaller one? My inclination is to try one bigger and one smaller to experiment unless I'm lead otherwise by wiser opinions. Thanks in advance for you time, I've enjoyed reading all these informative posts.
