Default One Oven being built and contemplating

Okay, this is my thoughts. So I'd like a bit of input from some of you guru's.
I have the one oven that I'm almost done with and my progress is posted here. It is 3x3x6 ft. Now while building this one, I got to thinking about it and am contemplating stating another one, but smaller. A 3x3x3 ft. Why? Well, I figured that if I have small items to coat, like A-arms, valve covers, brackets, etc., I could use the smaller oven for these, as it wouldn't take near as long to heat and for the sake of doing one or two small items as opposed to an oven full, which probably won't happen to often. OR
do I just try to set up the one that I am currently building to do small jobs with a divider? No sure I fancy this one.

Now before you answer, my dilemma is this. I already have my elements attached to the bottom of the oven and wired w/sheet metal already installed. But aside from that, I built the bigger one to do long/tall items or several racks of items, like for a small company (which is waiting on me to get this one done). I think I covered everything, what are your thoughts? I would also like to get this going as soon as I can, either way.

Thanks, JT
