Should I focus on 2x2 or 3x3?

As the title says, which cube should I focus on more? Im not a fan of big cubes...so thats out of the question. I average 5-7 seconds on 2x2, with Ortega. I average 17 seconds on 3x3, with CFOP. I think I like 3x3 more, partially because 2x2 is so small with such large poeces..but thats probably because I only seriously practiced with 2x2 for a short while.

If you already have cubed for this long and are looking for something to seriously do, I would say just go for 2x2. It's much more satisfying to be fast at 2x2 because it is honestly more impressive and fun, yet so simple to solve. It doesn't require too many algs and it's often really satisfying to get a lucky solve once in a while.
it also gives you an excuse to much more frequently shout "What? WHAT? A LAST LAYER SKIP??!! No way! I gotta rewatch that" when you get a LL skip.
I'm not as qualified as you are to say any of this, because I am much slower than you and I've been cubing for just over a year, but I have recently taken a liking to 2x2 much more than I have in the past.

Considered BLD or OH?

Do what you enjoy... with a twist. :)

Have you tried practicing any other events? My first year of cubing i basically only practiced 3x3, then i tried 5x5 and megaminx and i haven't practiced 3x3 for months
