I would say the 15" is on the big side... it's not huge but it's not small either. You will have to get a dedicated carry bag for it. Apple's 12" notebooks all seem to fit well in bags designed to carry folders and regular notebook paper.
From a relative standpoint, neither the 15" nor the 17" is really that huge, but that's only when you compare them to cheap PC laptops that weigh 7-9 lbs and are 2" thick. But they're still rather bulky and have large footprints, and the weight is not that tiny... almost 6 lbs for the 15" and almost 7 lbs for the 17".
