I agree with kettlebb. It depends on your lifestyle. Do you do more big party cooking, or more family style with the occasional party feast?
I'm the latter and the 26r is a great for my family get togethers. I also use a 22" though.
I think if I was having to "make room", I would sell the ranch for the profit and invest in a smaller cooker, not looker.
All that said, I don't own a ranch either.
