I think it's the drivers. I've seen both 3985 and 4014 up close. They are massive but the drivers aren't huge. I think 80 inch drivered Northerns seem so massive because of the wheel size. Standing next to a wheel that is taller than most people has the effect of making machinery just feel that much larger.
