But for me - I needed to see more of those costly Council of Elrond shots where it showed that yes - a hobbit in a group of regular sized folks - ahhh - hobbits me sees

I would agree with that. When I first saw FotR I hadn't ever read LotR, and I somehow got the impression that Hobbits weren't particularly short, Wizards were just really tall. I guess this means that the size difference between Gandalf and the Hobbits was well emphasized, but the difference between the Hobbits and the other characters wasn't shown nearly as well.
