What to get next? Rolex sports model or others?

My last couple purchases have been dress watches on a leather strap so I think its time for something sporty again.
There are really 3 watches that have my interest at the moment.

After hating the look of the Yachtmaster II for years I find myself falling in love with the steel reference. The Blue bezel, hands and Polished center links seem like perfection to me. The only thing is I have never owned a watch larger than 42mm with my current largest watch the New model Ulysse Nardin Dual time ( i think thats 42mm) Will 44mm kill it for me? I am currently wearing a 39mm PP 5146R at the moment.

This watch is also one that I disliked upon first looks but have grown to love.
I have tried it on and it does sit well on my wrist. The new ROO seem to not get much love at the moment.

Lastly Do i stay with PP and get the Aqua to complement my 5146?
I want to eventually get a 5711 blue but right now I prefer to stay under 20k.
I do think this is a great looking watch but perhaps I want something a little more flashy for a sports model.

Last but not least do i just forgo it all and keep my eye on the prize and put toward the Up/Down i so dearly want in the future???
Right now I am enamored by the YMII and the only thing that scares me is 44mm, I guess only one way to find out is to try it on.
Either way the thought process up to the purchase is sometimes the most fun.
