What is the difference between a small diaphragm condenser and large?

A rule of thumb is that a large diaphragm — or capsule membrane — is one inch or more in diameter. A small diaphragm means it is half-inch or less in diameter. Small diaphragm condensers usually are slim, pencil-shaped and operate end-fired. Large diaphragm condensers are usually much bigger and operate side addressed.
