Question Video screen size 3.5 or 6 inch?

Just got pointed to this great thread from another mirror deletion thread. Thank you so much for the wealth of information!

About the video camera and LCD screen:

The cost is ~$156 shipped; pretty reasonable really!

The small mirror may get moved to the driver's side (to meet the the letter of the law)...so far I have liked how things have worked with it on the passenger side.
I just looked at the website and found this:
3.5 in car monitor w/ back up color cmos camera system

It looks like the same camera with a smaller monitor (3.5 vs. 6 inches) at the same price as the larger monitor without camera. My question is: would 3.5 inch be large enough to get a good view especially with the distortion of the camera? Thanks!
