Labour to use large tiles vs small tiles

You can get inexpensive 1x2 and subway tile at the big box hardware stores, Costco, etc. but you'll have to go to a tile store to get good choices for 2x2, and hope they have enough in stock, wait for it to be shipped, etc. Thus, you'll be paying more for materials, in addition to being more restrictive with cosmetic choices.

That's why 1x2 is pretty much the standard now. 2x2 is mostly for commercial floors, I think.
