Cannot decide on a case

I am looking to do some upgrading to my pc and while I am at it getting a bit of a smaller case. My 1200 is just a monster.

I was looking around and I really like the looks of some of the corsair cases:
600T 500R 650D.

The only thing is these don't seem much smaller than my 1200 just a tad bit shorter. The Fractal Design Define R3 is not for sale on Newegg anymore but that seems like a nice choice. I don't really know what I'm looking for in a case. I tend to like clean cases without a ton of frills on the outside.

How big are the 600T and 650D IRL? I don't think the pictures really show how big they are.

I have the Fractal R3 and I'm happy with it. The 600T and 650D are considerably bigger, but I'm glad the R3 is the size that it is. However, if I had to build new, I'd choose the Fractal Arc Midi or the Carbide 500R. They look like seriously good cases.

I bought the Cooler Master CM690 II Advanced earlier this year and couldn't be happier. Dropped my temps by 3-4 degrees overall.

My roomate has the Corsair 600T and it's an awesome case too, but larger than my CM690 II Adv.

Both are great and have their advantages.
