On the issue of DX, a large creature will have larger manipulators, and will thus have issues with manipulating small objects. It will also take somewhat longer to perform any given action. It's not clear that this is best implemented as DX, though.

Type of brain matters even more than size. Look at parrots capable of rudimentary language far more advanced that any ape save man. Bird brains pack far more intelligence into a set volume than primates', and both pack in far more than carnivora order's, etc.
