Does size matter (and I'm talking about Druedain statues)

An interesting question I just though of is... Does size matter in Druedain statues?

What I mean is, is a Watchstone that is 5cm tall as strong as one that is 10m tall? Because they don't work like normal beings. I don't think they are fully sentient, as they don't live independently (Aghan gets burns where the Pukel got burned), and they are not actually alive. It also became alive because, as Aghan says "If some power passes from you to a thing that you have made, then you must take a share in its hurts" which is why Aghan got burnt. This states also probably means that Watchstone became alive because some power passed from Aghan into it which means that it is not a lifeform in itself.
But if they are just helda alive by the power of their maker does this mean they all have the same strength? Because a PUkel can have only a certain amount of strenghth. Would they need to put the same amount of power in to make it sentient? I'm sure you can imagine a 10m tall Watchstone lifting up something like an elephant (not an Oliphaunt, becasue I doubt that even one of the Argonath could lift one of those), but if it could, would it also mean that the 5cm one could too? Just a question, which I hope you experts who know all about incarnations and such can answer.
