Hi "I Can't!"
I think your analysis of the different size chinas seem pretty good. I do have the 18" Wuhan china, and I love it! It has a nice gong sound to it. As to how it compares to the others, I really can't say since I haven't heard them. When I wanted a china cymbal, I went with a cymbal make in china! That only made sense to me. Every one else is copying the sound of a china!
I would suggest, no matter what anyone else says here (and you will get good input), take the suggestions and go to a music store and try out the cymbals you are considering.
