Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound?

Planar speakers generate sound pressure via vibrating membrane panels. The excursion of the membrane x radiating area= sound pressure. This would mean that for a given sound level, membranes have smaller excursion in larger planar speakers than in smaller ones. Does this mean that larger speakers will produce more accurate sound?

I am not talking about the obvious benefits of the larger speakers in terms of low frequency production, so let's not get into that.

My experience has been, there is generally less interaction between The Room (side wall and vertical especially) and The Speaker, with regard to Plannar vs Cone. Plannars having fewer reflection interactions, Cones having more.

There is however,  a marked difference in the interaction within The Room when comparing Large Planars and Small Planars, in the same Room.

The size of The Speaker should be appropriate for the size of The Room...
