[FOR ME] scale is significant only if the different scaled figures are side by side, but that is easily overcome by perspective, distance, ground work, light and other “illusions”.

I have been in these discussions on this forum a few times and everyone has their own way of looking at and working with (or around) scale differences. Ken hit it perfectly square when he said that the height of a figure is really irrelevant. Then Trooper and Mitch followed up.

Personally I feel good about using a First Legion AWI Colonial in a scene with a K&C British figure. But they are separated by breastworks, diorama material and distance. I would even place a K&C Militia figure and FL Colonial in the same area, but I would separate them.

Bottom line is… DO what makes you happy and forget about what ever anybody else says or thinks. Just Have FUN, nothing else matters!{sm3}

Exactly! Sometimes a K&C and Britains look great together, sometimes, two Britains need to be separated. Its all what looks best to you.
 
Here's an old scale poll that may be of interest.

I wonder how many collectors now "measure each figure/range exactly", nil result back then.
