The one I had in mind was about 50TB. A year ago, that would take up to 17 hours from startup to be 'fully available'(I think it prioritizes which tables to load based on how you query them). I haven't worked with it since; Amazon may have improved the startup times.
We were thinking about trying BigQuery at one point since the pricing matched our usage better, but Redshift was good enough. The concern there was that Redshift was similar enough to Postgres we could use our existing database libraries, while BigQuery was some entirely custom protocol that didn't have a Perl SDK.
