Why do the Big Crown vintage Subs get more "love"?

[Franks07]

I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday...beautiful 75 degree sunny day in store fore Southern California. Be safe N.Y.
So as the owner of a "small crown" vintage Sub ref. 6205 I have to ask...what's the big deal about the size of the crown? Aside from what appears to be a very different (higher) valuation standard for the "big crowns" as compared to their "small crown" ancestors; why are the larger crown (8mm as compared to 6mm) in so much higher demand by collectors?
To be clear...I would love to own a 6200, 6536 or 6538 and very much appreciate their look and place in Rolex history.
As I read the many posts here on the Forum regarding early vintage Subs it seems that the desirability of these early pieces is driven primarily by the originality and overall condition of the dial (perhaps 50% or more of the value), hands, bezel insert and case. Very rarely is there even a mention of the crown (which is generally accepted as being ok to not be original to the watch although "period correct" is important).
Looking forward to the always enlightening responses from the Forum members.
Today I am taking my 6205 out of the safe for a little drive to the coast for brunch and some fresh air
