it feels to me that the fact that most of the weight is at the bottom of the rocket, ie near the pivot point, means that small or tall rocket are pretty much the same thing to land.
While the tall guy has more weight far from the pivot point, it also has more weight down (because more fuel to stop a heavier vehicle), more sensitivity to various winds and more physical tensions/torsions all along its body structure.
I'm not physicist/rocket scientist, so wondering if I'm missing something
