I love that I can see forward and back at the same time and I can swivel to scan behind me. I have gotten so used to this I find it hard to ride without it. I have never had issues with it being small.
Agreed. I have tried all kinds of mirrors, and nothing is as good at the Take a Look mirror. It takes a bit of work to find that perfect spot, but once you do, I absolutely depend on this mirror - it is so good.
If you can't see enough behind you, that suggests to me that you have the mirror mounted too far from your eye or the mirror you have is tiny (probably the former). I strongly suggest you give a helmet or glasses-mounted mirror a try again, because they might be fantastic for you if you get one that works for you and it is adjusted appropriately.
