I agree with your main point, but think this analogy isn't an apt one. If you want to see what particles are created at higher energies you kinda need the bigger particle accelerators. (This isn't to say that we shouldn't be investigating lower energy collisions, but at a certain point you do need "bigger colliders" to see new things)
