The "jigsaw" analogy might be a good one here. Detailed maps of each county sized so as to print on A4 and still be readable, then the overall map to serve the purpose of the picture on the jigsaw box: it shows you how to fit the pieces together.
Plus, for those of us who have broadband and can do our own cropping, the real thing: full size, full detail, and if it's 10M plus and four feet across, so what?
