Just a ps on the above- I do like my bigger anvils they just don't travel well. But, when I get my 430# Peter Wright warmed up I can move a lot of blade steel very fast (I normally get 20 to 30 blade blanks forged out in a 4 hour morning session if not interrupted). My 268# Haye-Budden does just as well, but has been relegated to hardie work - still making hardies for the PW (bigger hole).
