No, I'm arguing that it's a
functional limit, going beyond it is technically possible, but there's not enough reason to. The price of the Hideaway goes from $60k to north of $2 million (And that's a low ball) when you switch from Q&D to S&S and it's not even that useful because it still weigh 100 pounds

The fact is it's possible to argue for any made up limit based on the circumstances. Any limit would be exactly that, circumstantial. Given enough time, enough large powerstones, and enough skill on the part of the circle master, you could reach any arbitrary size of Hideaway given time. Whether it be Q&D or S&S.

Q&D is limited by number of mages in a circle, how long they can stay awake, and external energy. External energy need not be Powerstones, past a certain point dancing girls for a Cone of Power are cheaper. Take the number of mages, multiply it by hours awake and then then 10 for how powerful an enchantment. For S&S external energy doesn't matter, nor does staying awake. Take the cap on Q&D and divide it by circle size, and then ask yourself if you would be prepared to work that many continuous days at a job with no time off.
Also keep in mind that in a setting with lots of enchanting that Q&D likely pays more and still gives you work weekends free.
